Thanks. It kind of worked but I still seem to have problems.
It seems to be possible to create a new site and it appears in the “xxx Site Network Admin”. However if I try to go f.ex. to Dashboard it says:
“Not Found
The requested URL /offblogi/luomublogi/wp-admin/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) Server at http://www.organic-finland.com Port 80″
Likewise if I try to visit it:
“Not Found
The requested URL /offblogi/luomublogi was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) Server at http://www.organic-finland.com Port 80″
What might be wrong?
Do you have mod_rewrite enabled on the server?
Do pretty permalinks work on the main blog?

I don’t know – need to check.
Do pretty permalinks work on the main blog?
No.

I’m also worried that I may have made a mistake regarding the .htaccess file. When creating the network I couldn’t find it so I presumed I need to make one. Maybe I overwrote the existing one? How can I restore it?

answer to this is yes.

No.
Aha! This is why it;s not working.

well, you;re supposed to replace everything that’s in the file anyway…
Go check your apache config files. Just because mod_rewrite is enabled does not mean it is actually reading the htaccess file, because you can specify it not to (which is default).
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
is what you need.

I checked the files again and realize what happened. I had saved .htaccess as a rtf and the .rtf ending was still there. I made a txt file and deleted the txt ending – now it seems to work. Easy to make stupid mistakes…
