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?
Thanx.
