Well, here is how I solved it.

I booted the machine with the install disk (from 2.1.7.1) and asked the 
program to install FSBD over sd1 in compatibility mode with the minimal 
stuff needed. It did. After that I booted from the hard disk and mounted 
the slices of sd1 I needed. 
This way I wasted a couple of Mbs, but didn't have to rush to move to 
2.2.5, what would have brought me some headhache :)

Thanks to all the peplo who tried to help me, and especially to Dough 
White, whos patience and good will to answer are provervial ,-)

Regards!
