OK,
I have a good idea what the problem was and how it got solved
It seems that the lovely partition tool used by debian-testing boot-floppies created
(why didn't i see this earlier) a partition table with something like this:
partition number(linux notation), begin-block, end-block, mountpoint
1, 100000, 105000, /boot
2, 1, 99999, /
3, 105001, 106000 swap
I should have seen the bottom line of `fdisk -l` earlier saying:
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Yeah, and so with my not so great working LBA-crippbled old fashioned outdated bios
the /boot partition with stage2 files was not reachable but produced instead of an
error 18 an error 17. Maybe a bug?
I Hope it helps someone else and thanks for the help of the mailing list
