Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

Testing Hardy 8.04.4 point release.

I was testing with a loop file system mounted as a floppy. Casper detects the file system, but it cannot mount it. Instead of ignoring the file system, it drops a busybox shell, without warning the user.

I'll try to get logs.

Screenshots are not logs... but that's the best I can offer from the state of the machine at that point. I hope it helps.

This was a while ago and casper changed a lot since then, any chance you can try something similar, see if we improved?

Thanks
