haiku/src/bin/makebootable
Ingo Weinhold 04fcc147ca * Small fixes.
* Added --dry-run option for paranoid ones like me.
* Added support for making partition devices bootable under Linux (x86, BIOS).
  
When specifying respective values for HAIKU_IMAGE_{DIR,NAME} ("/dev" and
e.g. "sda7") a "jam haiku-image" will now replace the contents of your
favorite partition with a fresh Haiku installation. BE WARNED: This is nothing
for the faint of heart and I don't guarantee that my implementation is bug-free
and won't mangle the contents of your hard disk even if you use it correctly.

That being said, note that you'll probably have to run the "jam haiku-image"
as root, if you want to access the partition devices, which is a bit annoying.
Furthermore, if the build_haiku_image script fails for any reason, jam tends
to remove the image file, which in this case would be a partition device node.
The mknod command will be your friend in this case.
