Description (last modified by )
This is on hrev58191.
I stopped into the boot loader and I wanted to select the boot partition. In the "select boot volume/state" menu, I see:
Haiku Haiku
These are the 2 volumes found. One is on the harddisk, one is the USB drive I booted from.
Could we have more information to be sure which one is the one we want to boot? You could add something like /dev/disk/ata/0 but I advise to use details that are easier to understand to rookie users, like the device name and the disk size. On my case, it would be:
Haiku (Samsung SSD 870 EVO 500GB, 480GB) Haiku (Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 PMAP, 16GB)

Fetching anything other than the size (and maybe partition index) is not really possible at this stage, since we can only get whatever metadata the BIOS provides. I added partition size in hrev58298.
