Lets start all over from scratch, shall we? :)

  I do not have a floppy/cd etc in my HP, therefor I have to fetch everythi=
ng
from the Linux server, kernel, FS and the miniroot...
  I boot the Install kernel over tftp. Partitions the disk (using the examp=
le
in the INSTALL file, since they are the same size). I then fetch the
miniroot.fs from the server, and writes it to the harddisk (SCSI, ID0).
  Everything goes well, but I can not boot from the HD...

  I don not NFS mount the miniroot.fs, the INSTALL kernel does not need
any filesystem, it should install one, right?

  My intentions is naturaly that I want to boot from HD, and not NFS, only
have the home dirs from the server over NFS. Since the server is Linux, I
can oviasly not use any thing else...
