Newbie install error mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist

[Stephen]

Being new to this myself, I can only tell you that I had the same
problem with the 5.1 CURRENT release.  It worked fine on one of my newer
machines but your mentioned error came up on one of my older ones.  I
tried the 4.8 STABLE release and it worked fine on both machines.
