 I'm afraid this is not the case. How could there be an install file from
 an earlier attempt if I have just done a fresh miniroot install under
 AmigaOS?

 There is no stamp file. Any attempt to write into / fails.

 How? I tried mount -u {root_device|/kern/root_device} /, but all fails
 because there is no fstab. /etc/fstab is linked to /tmp/fstab.shadow.
 Which for obvious reasons cannot exist.

 Very interested. If I can build the miniroot under 1.5 somehow.
