In loader.rc i did unset acpi and now it gets a little further:
after loading mfsroot (rotating /), after that i see:

no such file or directory

Then press enter to boot kernel now ....
the kernel is located /boot/kernel/kernel
when i press enter all i see is a / and the system hangs.
Any hints?
Bye,

Mipam.
