N/A
>Description:
After sysintall has initialized, sliced the disks and asked for mount points of the partitions, pressing Ctrl-C brings up the option to restart sysinstall. After restarting sysinstall, the target installation path changes from /mnt (the newly created "/" mount pount) to the actuall "/" which is amemory disk device, causing the setup to give errors of unsufficient disk space as the system tries to install the distributions on the memory disk.
>How-To-Repeat:
boot from setup media, chose standard setup, slice and partiton disks, mount, press Ctrl-C , choose restart setup program, repeat slicing and aprtitoning again, choses distributions and proceed to copying.
