  I started the install system from CD (I mean I booted the CD). I
 already looked in the shell but when I look nothing is mounted
 under /mnt. 

  So I will try this today:

  boot from CD, update, wait 'till the error occurs, jump to shell,
 fsck /dev/wd0a and /dev/wd0e, then reboot and see if this solves the
 problem :)
