Comments/Problems:
The cd wasn't recognized at all, even though i tried it with a bootmanager-disk, too. 5 seconds of cdrom-spinning, off again, and so on. trying the floppies didn't bring me further. the boot.img worked, root.img was broken (tried 6 different floppies several times). use of the access-root.img brought me to the third disk. though the networking hw is rather old and generic (rtl8139 etc) the drivers wouldn't load automatically nor by hand. btw the idea of displaying 40 drivers on a 25 lines terminal without a scrolling-function is rather useless. when configuring mirrors, the dialog looped just because the mirrors couldn't be reached, which was in turn because the nics didn't get recognized. the current floppies (Aug, 14th) showed the same issues.
