I tried now another harddisk with 3 partitions:

IDH0 - root
IDH1 - swap
IDH2 - AmigaOS

In this case I have wd0a as root and wd0b as swap. But after loading  
the kernel he writes again:

no file system for wd0 (dev 0x1100)
cannot mount root, error = 79
root device (default wd0a):

If I start now to configure the drives I came to the point where he  
wants to create the filesystems:

Creating filesystems...
/: write failed, file system is full
[1] Segmentation fault     newfs /dev/r${_d...

If I continue now I will get again:

exec: mount_ffs -o async /dev/wd0a /mnt
mount_ffs: /dev/wd0a on /mnt: incorrect super block


Maybe the install guide is not detailed enough so I forgot something?

Cheers,
