Error message when /mnt fills up.

The v14.0 installer has a broken version of the
/usr/libexec/bsdinstall/scriptedpart utility. It partitions the target disk
properly, but doesn't write the target disk layout to an fstab file, as it
should. Because of this, the '
'bsdinstall mount' step fails to mount the target disk onto the /mnt
mountpoint. Because the /mnt directory is setup as a tmpfs (with my configs),
the installer continues. It then either a) fails when the /mnt partition runs
out of space, or b) if the tmpfs is large enough, completes the install, only
to have it disappear when the VM reboots.

This issue was discovered with HBSD v14.0 and then confirmed using the FBSD
14.0 BETA4 and BETA1 installers. See these emails for more verbosity on the
subject.

I've confirmed this bug on QEMU using the AMD64. The other hypervisor installs
(Vbox, Vmware, Hyper-V, etc) also failed, so I assume the bug isn't platform
specific, but I haven't pulled up the console on the systems to confirm.
