  Modified:    release/sysinstall  install.c
  Log:
  If mounting the fixit floppy fails in the first place, warn the user
  but make a second attempt using MNT_FORCE, just in case it has been
  unclean from a previous crash.  That's dangerous, but far better than
  keeping the despaired user standing in the rain...
  
  (Experienced admins can still fsck it then, and remount.  Others will
  either totally crash, or incidentally succeed, without much further
  help possible...)
  
  Btw., mount(2) misses the description of MNT_FORCE for the mount
  syscall.
