Answering to my own message again... I must learn to try first, and then 
write the mails...

Ok, I've found the videoprt folder in drivers\video. I changed the path 
in bootdata\packages\reactos.dff and then 'mingw32-make bootcd' worked 
fine (and I was able to install it too *yippeee*). Do other people have 
this problem too? If yes, maybe someone can update the CVS tree? Here's 
the diff:

----------------------------------------------------
