Yeah, I have it working right now with putting the businesscard-iso into the same dir as initrd/vmlinuz. Now I ran into another problem which maybe has to to with the harddisk install. I chose to re-partition the complete harddisk but partman complained about the following (on debug console): Partman: /dev/scsi/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here! So something on the harddisk is still used. I tried to unmount it in the shell but it said "Invalid argument".
