It looks that way, but the part of the log shown is actually generated
from two independent parts of the installer.  The 'mount' bit has no
direct relation to the 'maybe_makedev' bit.

Pete, I need to know exactly what you were trying to do when you got the
message

	Execution of the command
	mount /dev/ad1s2a /mnt
	FAILED with a return code of 1

in order to figure this out (was it "Configure an Installed System" by
any chance?)
