   I did copy it an a 4 GB USB stick. But hardware (probably computer BIOS)   
   doesn't like me. As already before for Linux on an USB stick it boots   
   from it (I see the Haiku splash screen) but for some reason it (also   
   Linux before) tries to continue booting from a hard disk partition after   
   that. Both OS report not to be able to find or mount a boot partition,   
   instead of considering the USB stick as device to run from.   
      
   I also added an entry for grub and it was able to boot off the USB   
   stick. But then the same happened and I was thrown back to Haiku's   
   userland console.   
      
   And I don't want to repartition the hard disk to make a new partition   
   for it. I already had a lot of trouble doing this before (almost killed   
   other partitions with operating systems on them). Not worth the risk for me.

   I think it's something else. May be a problem with the emu. As it   
   consumes all CPU cycles in the emu. What also would explain that Haiku's   
   clock starts running like crazy.
