OK, if I set stage2 as /boot/upgrade/minstg2.img it will fail with the error 
above. That is OK as the /boot prefix is wrong. If I correct this later it 
says that it does not found the iso image.

If I boot with the stage2 set by preupgrade:

stage2=hd:sda1:/upgrade/minstg2.img it will segfault after entering the 
keyboard set.

Note that this happens for the text install since the boot partition has only 
100MB.
