Bootloader failing to find usable partitions

Description

When running under qemu the Haiku bootloader does not appear to find a valid partition to boot off. An amount of debug partition scanning information is passed to serial output after which the graphical bootloader menu appears without listing any usable partitions, only allowing the reboot option.

This occurs with hrev18998 under Qemu, and there have been reports of failure running in real hardware in IRC. It appears to be a relatively recent issue as it worked fine around 20 revisions ago (Sorry I dont know the exact last revision it worked for me).

I'm building Haiku with GCC4 under Gentoo Linux. Attached is the serial log, note lines stating "intel: _ReadPTS(): bad offset: 0".

John Drinkwater noted it looks like hrev18991 may have introduced the problem. I reverted it locally and the system boots fine after this.

Thanks for the note! It should be fixed in hrev19000.
