No answer from the list, DEC-Service Germany had not idea too.
After playing around I found a hint: Booting from the internal (copied)
disk and opening dtfile in CDE in the root-directory (which was open by
default after the new installation) leads to a hanging dtfile, blocking
ls and df -commands. This didn't happen while booting from the original
disk. We concluded, that there must be a problem with CDE. We copied the
disks via vdump / vrestore now in single user mode (console) and the
problem has gone.
It seems, that vdump of the root-filesystem with CDE open (maybe in
combination with dtfile) leads to this problem.
