Hi, that's weird: the boot process should take you to a screen with 
this:

"Type starten and then press [enter]  to
        start an English Desktop Session."

        ...so then the X server (with the Desktop) starts up.

It sounds like a damaged ISO image, did you checked it?

What Musix version are you trying?

Mmmm... 

        Well, lets see... I think that you followed this steps:

1 clic install icon on the desktop
2 create HD partitions
3 Installation Config (a lot of options)
4 Start installation

        Did you followed those steps?

But, there is a progress bar or something like this? There are strage 
errors into the terminal windows?

That's not for booting an installed Musix system: that's only to boot up 
from a previous Musix ISO copy.

        If you install the system, it will install a master boot record 
manager 
(GRUB) into your HD (and, of course, it will copy all the files into a 
HD partition) and you will not need the CD nevermore.

I think it's damaged... tell us.

Good luck!
