This allows me to find and boot disks and cds(*) platform_add_boot_device tries to find the disk of the EFI partition As on other platforms if boot disk isn't found platform_add_block_devices will be called. platform_add_block_devices will find all block devices that arn't partitions as they are handled by Haiku already. Currently first found suitable partition will be selected. TODO: * pass in partition UUID's as boot-loader arg to setup boot for any partition. * Better cd detection * Better disk_identifier *) vfs_boot.cpp is very restrictive when it comes to booting cds. It either do very Anyboot check where boot partition should be at offset 0, which isn't true for EFI. In my case it's not even on that disk. Or it only allow data session partition types. This is currently failing as the Anyboot partition type is BFS.
Haiku

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
