Jessica Hamilton 62f80a2a71 loader: fetch all potential boot partitions for device This also keeps the functionality of hrev53848, which simplifies the list of disks searched for bootable partitions; however, it maintains the previous behaviour of platform_get_boot_partitions that continues to iterate over a list of possible boot partitions, which should allow finding a bootable BFS partition better in more circumstances. Particularly, there are numerous reports of the UEFI loader entering the boot menu despite it finding a bootable partition, which this should address. EFI's device_contains_partition is also structured such that it compares the disk GPT table of the partition the loader is querying of the EFI disk's GPT table, in the case that there are multiple disks, as the most reliable method of comparison, with a generic fallback for non-GPT disks, which will be less reliable. This reverts commit `0d932a49ad`.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

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

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
