Bootloader hangs after install

[TandyDandy]

I can boot from the CD and install Haiku without any apparent issues. After installation and a reboot, however, is when this problem appears.

Once the POST is complete, instead of continuing onto the bootloader, the system hangs at a blinking cursor (I can still press ctrl+alt+del to reboot the system). Holding down shift during or before this does not yield the usual additional options.

I've tried installing Haiku several times now (with and without safe mode enabled) and with different partitioning schemes but it's always the same problem. Disconnecting the second 120GB drive has no effect.

I've just run across this by accident:

If I install Haiku onto the raw device (/dev/disk/ata/2/master/raw) instead of a partition (/dev/disk/ata/2/master/0), the bootloader appears after install, but cannot find any boot volumes.

Replying to TandyDandy:

This is likely a different issue altogether.

Anyway, since it's been 4 years and no one ran into this problem I'm going to close this one assuming that there was some problem with your boot manager. Please reopen if you can still reproduce it.
