then
Casper Dik 's solution:

Boot from CD;

Mount rootdisk on /a;

echo '#path_to_inst_bootstrap_1' > /a/etc/path_to_inst

umount /a
halt

Brett Lymn:

mv /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.old
cp /etc/path_to_inst /a/etc
cd /devices
rm -rf *
cd /dev
rm -rf *
drvconfig -p /a/etc/path_to_inst -r /a
disks -r /a
reboot -- -r

and other answers are very similiar which belongs to:

David Sinn,
Stephen Harris,
Garry White,
Sean Ward,
Richard Hellier

Jacques Rall:

You need to update the bootblocks for the ss20 by using
'installboot'.

I did it before your message , but it didn't work.

Thank you very much for all GURUS above..
