Bug Description
After following the instructions in https:/
(putting the installation stuff into /dev/sdb4), successfully booting into that partition,
going through a significant part of the install program, it then asks that /cdrom be unmounted,
bacause it wants to write to the partition table.
(Note - this install was setup to use existing partitions, so I can't wee why it wanted to write to the partition
table anyway).
But since /dev/sdb4 was mounted at /cdrom, the installation program was running from /cdrom.
Anyway, when I tried to unmount /cdrom, it said Device busy.
This seems crazy - the code that is running wants the partition where it is located to be unmounted.
