Well some error outputs were going to /dev/null originally.
Are you thinking like:

I was not sure I should add "2>/dev/null" for the last
"if mount -t iso9660 -o ro,exec $device /cdrom".
I was not sure I can add "| logger" after "if mount ..." either.
Also, I wish I could add a screen display stating "Trying again".
Otherwise, it takes forever especially with 1 second pause as Vince
complained. I never used debconf.
