Comment 6 for bug 465231

I can confirm this bug, and I can confirm that Daniel's work around is valid. I'd also like to note that the only part of the /target/etc/mtab that is needed is the line contain the root file system, or the line containing the /boot file system (if applicable).

In my case I was using the 9.10 server install cd on a amd64 virtual kvm instance. This is always reproducible when using expert mode, and install legacy grub, and having 2 partitions (sda1 - swap, sda2 - root). File systems and valid partitioning schemes seem irrelevant, however I can't say I have tested all possible cases.
