Thanks for your suggestion, but after switching to SBC i've lost the
whole filessytem.
Even the Installer was unable to find a suitable partion.

I reformated the disk for MacOS and did extensive testing with FWB and
Ontrack-Diskmanager.
It was the disk, the disk was unable to realloced defect blocks.
:-( it was a 500 MB disk now it is garbage.

Now some good news:
I've installed NetBSD on another disk (176 MB) with GENERIC #30 and
it works. :-)
Now i will try out X.
Is it possible to run X with 8bit-color on internal video?
And I will look for a greater disk ;-)

Thanks,
	Christoph
