Now I have enabled step by step all disabled BIOS options. The last but one was "onboard FDC controller", still 1 minute duration of "bootloader installieren". After enabling  Floppy Drive A the process "bootloader installieren" took about 15 minutes. Tom is right, also in my case it's fd0.

Error recovery on a device with moving parts is *SLOW*.
For example, recovering from a read error on a physical DVD
can take a whole minute or more.  Just recovering an ATA bus error
can take 30 seconds or more.  I've seen these: one of the SATA
channels on the I/O bridge chip on one of my boxes is flaky.
At first I thought it was the DVD drive, but a new drive
which worked in another box also experienced the same problem.
So now there's a piece of tape over that SATA connector.
