I am very new to Haiku. I have now installed the 44220 build and notice a great deal of “waviness” on the video. I would think the power supply in the monitor is going bad, except that under Windows XP no such problem occurs. Or at least it is hardly noticeable.
Hardware
ASUS P5G4IC-M Motherboard
VGA on MB, Intel G41 Express
Intel e7500 chip
I had the refresh rate at 85Hz (which is my normal setting for Windows), and on a whim decided to lower it. I changed it to 75Hz and the waviness went away. This is a an acceptable workaround for the time being, but it seems to point out a weakness in the video drivers, imho.
I did this directly from within Haiku because I could not see how to copy the files to my main system via a USB drive. Being a newbie, I was just trying things that I know, but which did not work, as follows:
In Tracker, could not find /boot. Later I discovered that that is apparently a link to /system/boot.
In a Terminal, trying to access the USB drive did not work for me. I tried to open it as /dev/disk/usb/0/0/0, which was shown as mounted by df.
Gave up on trying to copy to USB and just opened WebPositive and created the trac ticket from there, which eventually worked (but resulted in a duplicate ticket #8535 which does not have the syslog attachments and should be closed).
I am writing this here in the hope that it is helpful.

No, they are completely different folders. /boot is your Haiku partition from which your system was booted. In a nutshell your Haiku volume on the Desktop with a lady bug is your /boot folder.
/dev/disk/usb/0/0/0 is a device path while what you was looking for is a mount point. See (first) “Mount” in df output or in DriveSetup. See this article Tracker
