Comments/Problems:
Unfortunately I did not write down the error messages.
The inittab entry for tty1 was respawning too fast, so I replaced it
with /sbin/getty 38400 tty1 and re-inited with "init Q".
The error message was related to the localization of the console for
iso-8859-15 that did not work. This happened during
the secund run of the initial installation of selected packages
(during first run /var/cache/apt/archive was full before installation,
so I had to symlink it to a bigger partition).
