There's a (faulty) assumption here that after the first boot the DVD 
image is no longer needed, so we unmount it.  This is/was due to be 
fixed (mainly because it's completely the wrong thing to do for Windows) 
but my Bugzilla-fu isn't up to it this morning and I can't find the 
tracker bug.

Anyway, easiest thing in Debian is probably just to edit 
/etc/apt/sources.list and remove the CD-ROM lines.  With those removed, 
apt will just go to the network to get updates rather than trying and 
failing to mount local CDs.
