Comments/Problems:

    Initial boot doesn't work propperly
    need to do root=/dev/fd0 otherwise no boot possible

    Mounting can't be done throug the installe menu's
     It always wan't to format the harddrive, or am I doning something wrong
here?

    got some errors while booting, I thinks this is my own fault, as I
didn't format the disks,
    but just did a rm * -r afther mounting and before doing a base
installation

    Error1:
    Warning: Your /etc/fstab does not contain the fsck passno field. I will
kludge around things for you,
     but you should fix your /etc/fstab file as soon as possible

    Error2:
    error while loading shared libraries: libdiscover.so.1: cannot open
object file: No such file or directory

    Error3:
    can't create /var/run/dhclient.eth0.leases: No such file or directory
    exiting. Faild to bring up eth0.

    Error4:
     /etc/init.d/rcS: line 1: cut: command not found
     /etc/init.d/rcS: line 29: [: =: unary operator expected
    /etc/init.d/rsC: line 24: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory

    Error5:
     Initialising random number generator... urandom start: failed:

      at the end I get: Starting system log deamon: syslogd.
      but nothing happens for about 5 minutes so I stopped the computer.
