Comments/Problems:
summary:
0) only the internal ethernet board is recognized. The network pci board
is not found by the first kernel. It is found after reboot with a final
kernel;
1) fdisk give errors when creating a second partition (I found a
workaround)
2) an unexistant partition 17 is displayed in partition list when
selecting partition usage
3) no LVM and device mapper available at installation time (no big
problem, I think)
4) information about PROM is slightly wrong

started again from scratch many times until I found this solution:
create partition 3 *before* partition 2, and partition 2 *before*
partition 1.
now, final schema, for first disk:

then, second disk:

then, I see a new partition, numbered 17:

... installation goes to the end and print this message about PROM:

x setenv OSLoadPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0) a x
x setenv OSLoader arcboot a x
x setenv OSLoadFilename Linux a x
then rebooted the machine, but I found that first two variables are
missing a "pci(0)" in front. Correct values seems to be:
setenv SystemPartition pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)
setenv OSLoadPartition pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(0)
Bye,
