Description
At hrev36580 neither Installer's invocation of bootman nor running it again from Terminal result in a bootable hard drive:
Insert Boot-Disk and press any key
Same result after installing R5's bootman.
Disk is Intel-partitioned (two primary partitions), and previously GRUB from Ubuntu ~Gutsy was installed and working.

It's a 1996 SystemSoft MobileBIOS. I doubt it expects a GPT; how could I confirm that?

I have no idea how to confirm that, but 1996 does not sound like it expects a GPT.
Did R5's bootman or an older version of Haiku's bootman ever work?
Can you restore the backup of the MBR that was created when you run Haikus bootman? If that does not work, can you install GRUB again, and boot from it?

Never tried bootman on this machine before. GRUB had its config for chainloading on the ext3 partition that I just repartitioned, therefore bootman...
Selecting Partition > Initialize > Intel Partition Map... for the raw disk in DriveSetup does not help.
Boot CDs and their boot menu let me boot into the partitions though.

Could you please retry? The hard-coded BIOS ID 0x80 of the boot device has been removed in hrev40167.
Since it does not work using R5's bootman either, I suspect your BIOS expects a GUID partition table. However bootman supports a MBR partition table only. Can you confirm my guess?
