Hello Michael!

Thank you for your answer, but as I described in my first mail I created
a /usr directory with "mkdir /usr".

Extract from my mail:
[...]
These are the steps we did:
	create a / partition
	run mkfs on it
	run install (here it works fine)
	mkdir /usr				<<< here it is
	create a /usr partition
	run mkfs on /usr
	run install and then we get the following error:
[...]

After creating "/usr" ls said:

> ls /
     2 drwxr-xr-x    6        0       512 Jan  7 15:37 .
     2 drwxr-xr-x    6        0       512 Jan  7 15:37 ..
     3 drwxr-xr-x    2        0      8192 Jan  3  1994 lost+found
   768 drwxr-xr-x    2        0       512 Jan  7 15:37 usr
> ls usr/
   768 drwxr-xr-x    2        0       512 Jan  7 15:37 .
     2 drwxr-xr-x    6        0       512 Jan  7 15:37 ..

Although /usr exists the install-utility hangs (mounting /usr : No such file
or directory)...

I don't know if this is the normal behaviour but there is a dot after
printing "Mounting partition 'G' as /usr."

Thanks for any hints.
