>Description:

	After installation failed with not able to fetch xbase, I
	tried to reinstall base system from the original tar files, but
	the reinstall option on the menu run fsck on the root etc
	filesystem and that failed because the failed installation
	left the filesystem mounted. 

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try to install base system but go back to the main menu after
	the disks are done, but without finishing the installation
	(i.e from the menu asking the network info etc). Then try to
	select the reinstall packages from the menu and it will run
	fsck on root and complain that the fsck did not finish
	properly (this is because the filesystem is still mounted). 

>Fix:

	Make sure that the root / usr filesystems are not mounted when
	starting the fsck when doing the reinstall packages option.
