I finally got Haiku working from hard drive. I got some help from the Haiku chatroom to get it up and running. Ran the bootable command to make the Haiku partition bootable and then played with the grub a little bit to try and get it working. It seems there is some problem with grub and I am not that familiar with grub and linux to fix it. Even though grub did find the Haiku drive when I ran then update-grub command, when I tried to boot grub would throw some error messages. I was able to type in the same set of instructions from the grub prompt and Haiku would boot just fine.
The instructions I typed in the grub prompt are:
set root=(hd0,7)
chainloader +1
boot
I set the same root in the 40_custom file and ran update-grub and it found Haiku in that partition upon update. Still, for some reason it would not boot.
I was surprised how less memory and processor Haiku was using. It was around 100 MB RAM...that was all it was taking!..and it was FAST and very responsive. It almost seemed unreal, especially because it wasn't using much processor capacity and it was still fast. I tested a few Haiku apps, they all worked great. I will start playing with it more and post what I find. So far I love it. I believe Haiku will make a mark in the OS arena. It may take some time before they come up with a stable version as well as more apps. It will be certainly interesting to see.
