<p>If you don't add the Haiku partition to an existing boot manager like GRUB, BootManager can install a small boot menu in the Master Boot Record (MBR) that looks something like this:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/bootmenu.png" alt="bootmenu.png" />
|
|||
|
|
<div class="box-info">Boot Manager isn't yet tested very well and still has a few restrictions that it will complain about if they aren't met: the menu can only be installed on your first harddisk and there has to be a 2KiB space after the Master Boot Record (MBR).</div>
|
|||
|
|
<p>BootManager guides you through the installation process of the boot menu.</p>
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/bootmanager-1.png" alt="bootmanager-1.png" />
|
|||
|
|
<p>The BootManager starts off with a list of all available drives from which you choose the destination. If there's already a boot menu on that drive, the <span class="button">Uninstall</span> button becomes active, leading you through the simple procedure to restore a formerly backed-up MBR, thereby removing the boot menu again.<br />
|
|||
|
|
Otherwise, choose <span class="button">Install</span> to continue.</p>
|
|||

<a name="2-backup" id="2-backup">Backing up the Master Boot Record (MBR)</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In case anything goes wrong or you want to remove the boot menu again, the Master Boot Record (MBR) is now saved. This is obviously a very important step, make sure you don't accidentally overwrite some other MBR-backup maybe from some earlier experimentation, for example!</p>
|
|||
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/bootmanager-2.png" alt="bootmanager-2.png" />
|
|||
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/bootmanager-3.png" alt="bootmanager-3.png" />
|
|||
|
|
<p>Just select a destination for the backup file "<tt>MBR</tt>" or leave the default path. After clicking <span class="button">Next</span> you'll get a confirmation if the backup was successful.</p>
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/bootmanager-5.png" alt="bootmanager-5.png" />
|
|||
|
|
<p>Next you're presented with a list of all partitions on the destination drive. By setting checkmarks you decide what entries will appear in the boot menu, the text boxes allow you to rename an entry.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>After that, you pick from the pop-up menu which partition will be booted from by default and set a timeout with the slider below. Here, "<i>Immediately</i>" will skip the boot menu entirely, "<i>Never</i>" will just stop at the boot menu. You can override the timeout setting by holding <span class="key">ALT</span> while booting.</p>

|||
|
|
<img src="../images/apps-images/bootmanager-7.png" alt="bootmanager-7.png" />
|
|||
|
|
<p>Before the boot menu is written to the MBR, you'll get a summary of your configuration and then one last chance to abort the operation. Don't worry though, as long as you keep the MBR backup safe, you can easily revert the changes. Should things get thoroughly messed up, you can always boot from a Haiku install CD or USB stick and write back the MBR backup with BootManager.</p>
