Having in mind the trouble it causes to me, I would prefer a simple BIOS ;-)

Are you refering to this post

This in combination with the above post brought me a black screen (but I
managed already to start the next installation cycle). Is there any
deterministic approach to find out the path? Or to get a list of possible
paths?
Can I somehow enter OF as it is possible by pressing Del to enter a i386 BIOS?
Is this documented somewhere?

I guess, I should first run quik and then do the chroot. Right? That might
have been my mistake in the first trial.
Thanks
