Mount CDROM failed and make_all aborts....

I run an alice installation last week on an P4-1.6Mhz, using Alice 
0.9.5-11. Something that been working really great suddenly totally 
failed. Unfortunatly I cannot play with that machine anymore, so I was 
wondering if anyone has seen this before.

During installation(CD) everything works fine until the point where 
'/etc/init.d/boot.alice start' get called. That rc script should mount 
the cdrom

##### SNIP from boot.alice or prepare_alice

/etc/rc.d/portmap start
mount $(df -P ${alice_mount} 2>/dev/null | ${target_mount}/usr/bin/awk 
'$1 !~ /Filesystem/ {print $1}') ${alice_mount}

##### END SNIP

Mounting the cd failed; I know that since later on alice tries to access 
the cdrom and totally bails out leaving me at a root prompt.

Anyway, I logged in and executed:
mount /cdrom
/etc/init.d/boot.alice start

And the whole installation process continued and I finally got 
everything up and running.

To me it seems like it should be some error checking on the portmap 
call???? As well as the mount in boot.alice.?!?!


Comments?
