 I disagree.  The filesystem that you browse through using the "<...>"
 button is actually mounted on "/instmnt".  If you switch to vt2 and
 use `ls', that's where you look to look inside the mounted
 filesystem.  The two are consistent with one another.  I don't
 believe that the user interface is there to hide things from the
 "user" behind a facade.  The interface is there to automate the
 installation and make it easier to get the system bootstrapped from
 the installation media.  We don't assume our users are clueless
 consumers who need to be protected from knowing anything about the
 internals of the operating system or the installation system.
