Doing this after the command env-update in step 4 
gives me back my keyboard.

GRUB tells me (hd0,11) and after reading the install guide more 
carefully I only can agree!

But after the command root (hd0,11) neither "find" nor "setup" can 
find stage1 any more.

Could it be a problem that fdisk does not write the partition records 
in disk order? I have split a former linux partition (hda8) in boot and
root 
and left the swap (hda9) and ended up with boot as hda12, root as
hda13,
and swap as hda8.
