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)
