As the blinking LED apparently indicates which IP address has been leased, I assumed from then on everything is ok when seeing that. I didn't knew about that feature.
So I continued with scanning my network. Problem here is that some hardware visible on my local network does not identify itself. Printers, iPads, Phones, ... the like are noticed as is. But some other hardware isn't. This is hardware owned by my cable vendor. Also the B3 doesn't seem to go noticed on my network easily.
So for those who don't know: look for IP's linked to MAC addresses starting with 00:22:02
Connected over ssh and logged in with root/excito

sda1 is my USB rescue disk
sdb1/2 is the physical disk which was partitioned few posts earlier,
but didn't boot as the u-boot environment
no longer looks for sd but md devices (Raid) <= see below
So I dropped sdb1 and sdb2 partitions for starters
