 It tests the "last mounted on" data of disks and uses that sometimes.
 If you want to trick it, mount the volume on /targetroot instead, that prefix
 is ignored :-)
 
 Can you show the full /etc/fstab that you created and the output of
 disklabel?
 
 There have been some bugs in this area fixed, but unfortunately it is not
 easy to test the daily builds if you need to boot from CD.
