hello, I'm new here, so forgive me; never really used IRC before. Was wondering if I could get some help with installation. Nothing I'm doing seems to be working right

drewkyo state the nature of your emergency
<drewkyo>
When trying to install to my kick around laptop, I go thru the install process. Nothing I do seems to make a bootable instance, however. Installation works fine, but I just can't seem to manage to figure out how to partition it to actually boot without the USB install drive
<AlienSoldier>
without it it say can't find anypartition or something like that?
<drewkyo>
yeah, something like that. There's times where I get "Invalid partition table", other times when I init the partition table and then make a partition with a BeOS partition, and install to that, after install, it can't find a bootable partition. If I put the boot menu on that partition, it'll boot up into the boot menu, but won't have any bootable partitions listed; I've marked the install partition as active, but it never seems like it
<drewkyo>
sticks, either.
<drewkyo>
Watched some videos with install examples in them, but none of them ever seem to do it for me
<AlienSoldier>
been a while but at one time one used to use the makebootable command
<mrentropy64>
You can try making a fairly small exFAT or FAT32 parition and copying the files from the install media's EFI partition to it and then try booting.

<drewkyo>
so it semes like using makebootable didn't work, or I'm not managing to do it right. Same thing with the EFI partition stuff. Could be that I just didn't do it right
<drewkyo>
if it helps, laptop is a Dell Latitude E7250; I've got the USB booting in legacy mode, but UEFI mode can boot as well; but I just know that UEFI involves a bit more steps, which is why I'm targetting legacy mode instead
<mrentropy64>
Target UEFI. It's usually easier. Maybe try hitting the key to show the boot menu and see if it shows up there. You're using GPT and not MBR, yes?
<drewkyo>
Yeah, I've tried a GPT and an Intel partition map, but neither have worked so far.
<drewkyo>
let me go do some bios fidling real quick

<drewkyo>
alright, so I've gone ahead and just disabled the legacy mode options in my BIOS, so I'm going to try again. So, just walking thru the basic process of what I need to do; first step should be to setup a GUID partition table, correct?
<mrentropy64>
I believe so.
<drewkyo>
okay, then from there, I need to make a small partition for EFI; I haven't setup a linux distro that needed EFI in a long time; what's the standard size for a partition like that?
<mrentropy64>
Mine is 32MB.
<mrentropy64>
You might want to make it a bit bigger.
<drewkyo>
512 should be enough, right?
<mrentropy64>
More than. The .EFI file is only 558KB.
<drewkyo>
alright; I'm not hurting for size, so I'll just do 1 GiB
<drewkyo>
alright, then from there, format the EFI partiton as FAT32, and then make another partition filling up everything else for BeOS, and format as Be Filesystem
<mrentropy64>
Yep.
<drewkyo>
alright; then I move on to the installer
<mrentropy64>
Don't forget to copy the EFI folder from the installing media's EFI partition to yours.
<drewkyo>
can I do that after installing to the BeOS partition, or should i do it before?
<mrentropy64>
If you right click on the Haiku desktop and go over to Mount, I think it shows a (no name) that can be mounted.
<mrentropy64>
Oh, either way will work. I'd do it first just so's you don't forget about it.
<drewkyo>
alright, so then just copy the entire EFI folder over to the new partition
<drewkyo>
is there anything I need to modify?
<mrentropy64>
And copy the top level EFI directory to yours. It's copy the entire EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI stuff.
<mrentropy64>
Nope, I don't remember anything needing to be changed.
<drewkyo>
okay, so I've got the EFI partiton, I've got the BeOS partition, installed Haiku to the BeOS partition, coppied EFI to the efi partition; then I probably just need to setup the boot option in my bios? or should I just be good to boo?
<drewkyo>
boot*
<mrentropy64>
Make sure that whatever it is you want to boot from is the first in the boot order.
<mrentropy64>
And that's it's EUFI/EFI and not legacy
<drewkyo>
alright; brb; if it works, I'll let you know. If it doesn't, I'll probably also let you know, but I'll probably be giving up for the night then :) haha

now to start playing around with it. :)
<mrentropy64>
I really have to do something about that. Tomorrow the switch box leaves the equation.
<mrentropy64>
Did it work?
<drewkyo>
yup!
<mrentropy64>
\O/
<drewkyo>
big props to you. thanks for the help
<mrentropy64>
Hopefully that all gets added to the install process. You are very welcome.

it's been a while since I've had to manually setup stuff like that; not since I messed with Arch Linux over a year ago.
<mrentropy64>
Now, write me a Scrivener clone for Haiku.

I crashed again. Did I miss anything?
<drewkyo>
man, that switch isn't doing well for you, is it?
<drewkyo>
and no
<mrentropy64>
yeah, well, the switch box is now out of the equation.
<drewkyo>
haha
<mrentropy64>
And the cat is walking all over the VCS and I haven't crashed, so, so far so good.
<mrentropy64>
And him forcibly unplugging my joystick didn't send me to KDL. I think I'm good.
<drewkyo>
awesome. Alright, I think that's it for me tonight. I'll have time to play around with this more tomorrow.
<drewkyo>
thanks a million, again
<mrentropy64>
Not a problem. Happy to help.

(AGMS) Yes, TAResizer was pretty awesome. It started as a native BeOS application where you dragged and dropped images, resized with a preview, then saved in whatever format you wished. It's in HaikuDepot too.
