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...
