 The problem is that sysinstall assumes that you have already done
 the chroot into /mnt if you do a restart.  However, this is not
 always the case.  Arguably since a restart kicks you back to the
 main menu, sysinstall should always chroot() in install.c.  At the
 very least it should chroot if it hasn't done it yet.  The line in
 question is:
 
     if (!Restarting && chroot("/mnt") == -1) {
 
 in installInitial() in install.c.
