On completing the install, the user is asked to remove floppies from the drive for the reboot. This request should also ask the user to remove CDROMs from the drives, as if the user is installing from a bootable CDROM, they may find themselves booting off that after the reboot. Similarly, if the CDROM is mounted, it should be unmounted before displaying the message, as on some CDROM drives, the drive bay is locked to prevent ejecting while the fs is mounted. The result is that the user has to hit the button *after* the reboot starts, but before it starts booting off the cd. This seems unfortunate and counter-intuitive. >How-To-Repeat: Discovered while forcing novice friend to install 3.3-RELEASE for me-- subject finished installing and couldn't figure out why it kept returning to the install menu :-). >Fix: Patches not included, sorry :-). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
