Yep. Checksums are ok.
If i just install a minimal system as Brandon suggested, the 
installation process works properly (except that disk geometry allegedly 
wrong, but the system-guessed values are correct for LBA mode).

Yes. The card is detected and also configured while the install process, 
but every try to connect to a ftp server fails.

Sadly, another problem occured after rebooting. The slave harddisk had 
debian on it  before the installation of BSD with grub written into the 
MBR. The problem is, i seems that bsd writes its own bootloader into th 
MBR of the slave harddisk. So grub is still in the master's MBR but the 
config files are of course not addressable.

So is it possible to instruct the sysinstall to write its bootloader to 
the mbr of the master harddisk and detect and conigure winxp for dual boot?

Thanks
