You should at last adjust this (or let fdisk do it: just start fdisk

Hm. The original values came from the sysinst. Here is what I did to make it work:
1) Went to the dealer asking him to swap the tekram with adaptec (but he had
none today)
2) Plugged it in again, removed all DOS options in the SCSI-Bios
3) Low-level formated the disk
4) Installed NetBSD from the Install Disk als always before.
5) rebooted. works....
*grrr*
