For a BIOSUpgrade I need a charged Battery. But the Battery is totally
out of order! Upgrading the current BIOS could help. The latest version
says the following:
	I. Summary of changes version 1.22 - IBET54WW

	    * (New) Support for Microsoft Windows XP
	    * (Fix) OS installation failure with CD-ROM boot

So my last chance is, to boot from Debian-Bootfloppies and install a
base system. Or buy a new battery :).
