Comment (by IIsi50MHz):

 This issue has mysteriously gone away from one device:

 Today I a did full-backup from a Vaio B100B laptop to this USB disc by
 running Installer. The Vaio was running hrev49180. I then booted the
 desktop system previously specified above with SATA mode set to Native
 IDE.

 I then ran the following:
 > pkgman refresh
 > pkgman update
 > sync
 followed by reboot.

 Bootloader procedes to boot menu, where it declares no boot volume found.
 Fearing that maybe the update had written something to the internal HD
 instead of only the USB disc, I returned BIOS SATA mode to "AHCI" and "As
 SATA Type", then booted Windows successfully. I then forgot to set SATA
 mode to Native IDE.

 After inserting this mis-updated USB disc into the Vaio, I ran Installer
 to restore the USB disc to hrev49180. This disc had previously received
 multiple copies of all previously mentioned hrevs, both by writing Anyboot
 images from Windows and by running Installer from working systems. Each of
 these hrevs would boot other hardware, but not this one desktop. Deleting
 partitions and reformating had also been tried previously, with no effect.

 I put the restored USB into the affected system and booted successfully.
 Only then did I remember this shouldn't be possible, because I had not set
 Native IDE mode in BIOS, which had been necessary. I verified that the
 BIOS is indeed set to AHCI mode, and that the disc now boots in both AHCI
 and IDE modes.

 Somehow, the failed update, followed by running the hrev49180 Installer,
 made just this one USB volume bootable in the affected system without
 needing to set SATA to Native IDE mode.

 However, the Haiku CD-ROM made from the hrev49180 ISO image still exhibits
 the Boot Loader Death Land unless Native IDE mode is set in the BIOS.
