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.
