 Please explain and give more details why you would need to mount the raw
 partition.
 
 Background: this should not be a proerpty of the machine, but of the image
 you run sysinst from - or it would point to a bug in generation of the
 default disk label, which is partly arch dependend (i.e. sparc64 and sgimips
 do some magic, but those CDs just work).
 
 If you are using a custom image, please provide a copy.
