Thanks for everyone who helped me to solve those problems. I boot system
successfully and after minor fixes (like merging / & /usr - I read why
systemd have "problems" with it and I won't shoot the messenger). Now
syystem starts in about 30s to start of gdm.

I still have minor issues to fix (f-cron, ssh etc.) and adding
eye-candies.

Regards
