>Description:
		When a 2.2-BETA install attempts to mount an NFS
		filesystem to perform an upgrade installation and
		can not mount that NFS filesystem, the entire upgrade
		aborts and forces a reboot of the system.  This beavhior
		seems somewhat suboptimal - it should present the user
		with the option to retry the installation with a different
		media (perhaps retrying the NFS install with a different
		filesystem).

>How-To-Repeat:

		Install under 2.2-BETA and select an upgrade installation,
		and install over NFS from a filesystem you don't have
		permission to mount.

>Fix:

		See above.
