root device not yet setup (I wanted to do that during installation)

partitions
/dev/hda1	ntfs	approx. 7,9 GB
/dev/hda2	nfts	approx. 800 MB

Comments/Problems:

installer started fine from usb-stick and installation proceeded until
"Searching drinves for an installer ISO image.  All modules were
loaded just fine but then the installer says "Scanning
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 (in My eBooks/) .." and stop at 30% scanning.
It remains there for about 5-10 min and then starts the scanning again
until the 30% stage.

/var/log/messages reports the modules loaded (last entry: sd_mod)
/var/log/syslog reports the following:
...
user.notice hd-image-detect: Failed mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part2
syslog.warn klogd: VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev ide0(3,3)
syslog.err klogd cramfs: wrong magic
syslog.warn klogd: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
syslog.warn klogd: VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,3)
syslog.warn klogd: sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: ca not find reiserfs on ide0(3,3)
user.notice hd.image-detect: Mounted /dev/discs/disc0/part3 for first pass

The first message is presumable OK since there ist an ntfs on
/dev/hda2.  (Same message are also reported for /dev/hda1).  The following
messages also make sense, since there ist a vfat fs installed on
/dev/hda3.  However, the installation hangs on the final user.notice
message

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
