Comments/Problems:
Modules for the network cards failed to load: 8139too, r8169, via-rhine. No reason given.
The cdrom failed to mount. No reason given.
Attempting to mount on a scratch directory manually returned "Not a directory".
Attempting to mount *on a file* succeeded! Attempting to ls that file returned "Input/output error".
Obviously there was no way to continue the install.
