I have now an idea:
The first message (MBR 123FA:) means that syslinux is working. Normally one
can choose which system to boot at this stage. But in my situation no key
pressing has any effect.
The second message is generated with an USB key with
install-mbr /dev/sda1
If I just follow the »the easy way« (in the cited documentation) I get the
message:
Boot failed
So I think the problem is that the installer files do work for me:

Do you have any hints for me what I could try in addition?
