Didn't try to launch by hand, I will retry. Then I retried with ext2 => success. During next boot, when the system tried to mount the / (auto type in fstab), I got a warning "no journal". So the mkfs.ext2 need to erase the journal option. "Install boot loader" : I tried to install grub first, I got a error : /sbin/grub-install : No such file. I didn't check if the file was here , I will retry. Tried lilo => success "Reboot" : during the reboot, I see a message "eject command not found" Comments: I did a first install, I tried a french mirror and I got a 403 eror for a file (maybe a mirror synchro problem). I didn't find the way to reset http mirror selection.
