Hi everybody,

I have downloaded haiku.image.r24209 file and install it on a Linux that :

#dd if=haiku.image.r24209 of=/dev/hda4

and update a /boot/grub/menu.lst file by added this entry :

title Haiku
root (hd0,3)
chainloader +1

next reboot and failed that :

Failed to load OS. Press any key to reboot...

what wrong I have done ?

1)my firth partition has 10GB and haiku.image.r24209 has about 260 MB only. is it an any problem ?

PS: I do not want to build from sources yet now, before that I want to have been tried Haiku only :-(
