Is sda2 an extended partition?
Do you need hardware reset to kill following command?
mount -t auto -o ro /dev/sda2 /mnt
If answer is yes to both questions, 691

SUCCESS!!! This looks very good!
Installer selected mirror site without asking me. It didn't even tell
me what it was trying to use. I don't like this feature. It is OK to
guess mirror site based on earlier language selection, but it should
