You can't remount because the install script goes into an endless loop
evaluating you're system, failing and poping up with the
colour/monochrom menu. You can't even reboot. The only option is a
keyboard reset, which thankfully makes a shutdown -r when
Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga is pressed. (It just resets on CTRL-Alt-Del. Why?)
