Okay, that worked fine. Thanx! But my system was still unable to load the kernel. It aborted. I guess it has something to do with this output I got while installing: wd1S1A: hard error reading fsbn 34988 of 34912-35039 (wd1s1 bn 34988; cn 17 tn 11 sn 23) (status 59<rdy,seekdone,drq,err>error 40 <uncorr>) vm_fault: pager read error, pid (cp) cp: /kernel: bad address Does anybody has any idea how I could solve this?
