Investigation in the emergency holographic shell shows that the very first session of the CD-ROM has been mounted, as opposed to the most recent one. >How-To-Repeat: Create an install session on a CD-R that is not the first one on the medium. >Fix: mount_cd9660(8) has been taught to handle multisession CDs years ago. It seems sysinstall reinvented the wheel, however, and it obviously only invented a half-wheel there. ;-) Either use the real mount_cd9660 (shouldn't hurt much since in a crunched binary, the resulting code size should not be much different), or properly reproduce the procedure from mount_cd9660(8) in sysinstall. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
