Mmmm, you're right.... the piece of code that seems to generate the error is:
        cd /tmp
        for file in fstab ifconfig.* hosts myname mygate resolv.conf; do
                if [ -f $file ]; then
                        echo -n "Copying $file..."
                        cp $file /mnt/etc/$file
                        echo "done."
                fi
        done

When this loop fills up '/', I begin to wonder if something is mounted on
'/mnt'... (your new root-fs _should_ be mounted there!) So maybe running the
'mount' command without arguments, might add some valuable info too...
