Thank you for your answer, but as I described in my first mail I created
a /usr directory with "mkdir /usr".
Extract from my mail:
[...]
These are the steps we did:
create a / partition
run mkfs on it
run install (here it works fine)
mkdir /usr <<< here it is
create a /usr partition
run mkfs on /usr
run install and then we get the following error:
[...]
After creating "/usr" ls said:
> ls /
2 drwxr-xr-x 6 0 512 Jan 7 15:37 .
2 drwxr-xr-x 6 0 512 Jan 7 15:37 ..

Although /usr exists the install-utility hangs (mounting /usr : No such file
or directory)...
I don't know if this is the normal behaviour but there is a dot after
printing "Mounting partition 'G' as /usr."
Thanks for any hints.
