>Description:
When installing from a CDROM, sysinst does not wait long enough for
the CD to be mounted and accessible.

On a number of i386 systems, I had to retry 3-4 times for sysinst to
be convinced that the sets really were on the CD.

It is almost certainly a drive spin-up time problem, but shouldn't
the mount block while waiting for the device to be available?

This problem also exists in 1.6.1_RC1.

>How-To-Repeat:
Choose to install from CDROM with sysinst.
