The fifth beta for Haiku R1 over a year and a half of hard work to improve Haiku’s hardware support and its overall stability, and to make lots more software ports available for use. Nearly 350 bugs and enhancement tickets have been resolved for this release.
Please keep in mind that Haiku is beta-quality software, which means it is feature complete but still contains known and unknown bugs. While we are increasingly confident in its stability, we cannot provide assurances against data loss.
UEFI Booting the Anyboot Image Haiku also supports booting via the traditional BIOS boot system. See the regular install instructions if your hardware requires a BIOS boot process. Use the instructions on this page should your hardware require a UEFI boot process. The instructions are somewhat manual at the present time (R1/beta5), but should be enhanced with a more guided process in the future.
Install Steps The following steps assume a fresh installation where the local disk will be used in its entirety for Haiku.
Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open source server virtualization management solution based on QEMU/KVM and LXC. You can manage virtual machines, containers, highly available clusters, storage and networks with an integrated, easy-to-use web interface or via CLI.
This guide assumes that you’ve already downloaded Proxmox VE from their website, installed it on your machine, and have downloaded the ISO for Haiku you would like to install.
Uploading the Haiku ISO to Proxmox Login to your Proxmox installation via the GUI and go to the storage device where you will store ISOs (‘local(pve)’ in my case), select ISO Images, and Upload.

Haiku can be compiled for devices leveraging the ARMv8 64-bit processor architecture.
Please ensure that you have obtained a copy of Haiku’s source code as described in Get the Haiku Source Code if you have not already done so.
Unstable The state of the ARM64 port is extremely early. Roll up your sleeves and help out! Create a Compiler Toolchain Building the ARM64 compiler toolchain is quite easy using Haiku’s configure tool.
