You went back from the final screen before rebooting. Problem is that at
that screen it has already unmounted /target.
The best thing to do currently is to go back from previous screen that
asks for the device to install grub to. Or use expert mode.
I think it would be better if prebaseconfig waited to unmount the
filesystems until after the final question. This would avoid this type
of confusion. It must be done with care though.

* Joey Hess
- If a script exits 10, back up to main menu.
- Move the final message to happen after CD eject, but before everything
else. This makes the screen look better on reboot (with a progress bar
up), and it eliminates the problem with /target being unmounted if the
user goes back. Closes: #237467
