Interesting. But I don't seem to be offered the possibility to
make such a mount point when running from the install disk...
(setup only lets me mount a primary MSDOS partition).
I thought about copying part of the CDROM to a DOS partition, but
this seems to go wrong because of the rock-ridge extensions.
