Either there is something in /etc/fstab that tries to mount a device 
recognized as /mnt/pix or you added something to your config files for 
startup to mount this device. (/etc/rc.local or another similar file)

If you know where the /dev/pix mount request is coming from, remove the 
reference or comment it out until after the install.

By the name for the mount, it sounds like a camera device.
