>Organization:
>Environment:

Booted up boot.flp.  In the main menu.

>Description:

When sysinstall prompts for mounting fixit.flp, it keeps prompting for
the floppy, even though the file system is mounted (observation from
holographic shell created during normal installation).  sysinstall enters
an infinite loop of prompting for fixit.flp.

There is no way to terminate the loop, except by Control-C or
Control-Alt-Del to reboot.

>How-To-Repeat:

1.  Boot boot.flp
2.  Select 8 Fixit.
3.  Select 2 Floppy.
4.  Change floppy disk as prompted.
5.  sysinstall keeps prompting for fixit.flp.

>Fix:
	
N/A.
