external hard disk. NO it was not mounted, but it is also "noauto"

True, but I also (first attempt actually) booted off CD, which should
remain cd0.

However, this was the trick. I commented that line out... and installer
CD worked like a charm.
So, it got really confused but that fstab


I'm in! 10 boots. pkgin upgrade done. Framebuffer console works, X11

Now I will stress it a bit, compile, check stuff like sleep, audio, wifi....
