And that's what I didn't understand...  Even in a non-chrooted shell, I 
still
don't have access to the DVD (it seems to have been unmounted already)
and the networking isn't up...  Which is odd, because I have:

network --device eth0 --onboot boot --bootproto dhcp

in there.  At what point does Anaconda unmount the CD/DVD media?

Surely not before running %post scripts...
