Hi there,

thanks to the recent bugging from lymon, I've finally looked into the 
boot problems that caused sudden reboots on many systems.
Turns out it was my favourite A20 gate, that was not enabled correctly 
everywhere. I've switched to the 0x92 port mechanism, and that seems to 
work much better.

So if booting Haiku failed for you, you might want to give it another 
try now.
To install it on a separate BFS formatted partition, just call the 
makehdimage script like this:
$ ./makehdimage /Haiku

in case /Haiku is your target volume.
If you encounter any problems, please report back.

Bye,
   Axel.
