Description

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 strings that are easier to understand to rookie users, like the device name and the disk size. Something similar to:

Haiku (Internal SCSI, 500 GB)
Haiku (USB, 30GB)
