GREAT! That was the missing link! It boots without problems now ;-)!
Just a silly question though... How could the kernel start initializing stuff on the disk if it couldn't read the partition table to begin with? I don't know, it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Oh well, it all works now. I can finally start toying around a bit.

Thanks a lot, everyone!
