>Description:
During set install from CD-ROM, because of a badly written file, I
got the following errors:

  cd0(pciide0:0:1): illegal request
  data = 00 00 00 00 64 00 00 00 00 00
  cd0(pciide0:0:1): illegal request
  data = 00 00 00 00 64 00 00 00 00 00
  gzip: stdin: Invalid argument
  pax: End of archive volume 1 reached
  
  ATTENTION! pax archive volume change required
  Ready for pax archive volume : 2
  Input archive name or "." to quit pax.
  Archive name>

The first really annoying thing here is that "Delete" nor "Backspace"
do not work (they produce something like a small delta as you type)
when you give the path of the archive.
Second, quiting pax (with ".") and trying to reinstall the sets once
more, I confirm the problem "install/7188", that is, /mnt is not 
umounted.

Third, the default archive path on the media for the *second* attempt
is now: /i386/binary/sets/i386/binary/sets 
instead of: /i386/binary/sets
I suspect a small error in the path initialisation.

>How-To-Repeat:
I think that producing an error with any media during sets install
should work. 

Notice then that keymap is garbled (delete/backspace do not work).

Quit pax with "." as explained and try to reinstall sets from the
same media.

Notice that you get a message about "/mnt not empty" and that the
default path to the archive is wrong.
