Still an issue in Natty. Worse, actually, because the installer starts trying to copy files from /cdrom right after it finishes partitioning, and you don't have time to re-mount it.
A workaround (for systems with enough RAM) is to copy the files in /cdrom to the running ramdisk. Ie, after booting the LiveCD but before starting the installer, open a terminal and do:
- sudo cp -r /cdrom /cdrom2
- sudo umount -l -r -f /cdrom
- sudo rmdir /cdrom
- sudo mv /cdrom2 /cdrom
Then install - it completed for me without any problems.
