I am trying to see how this would happen. Maybe like this:
* Before CDROM install:
---- hda1 /
---- hdb1 /home
---- hdc1 /tmp
* After CDROM install:
---- hda1 CDROM
---- hdb1 /
---- hdc1 /home
---- hdd1 /tmp
However, fstab still had hdc1 configured as /tmp. Is this what happened? Wow!

I am not pining for the old /dev days. I just want an option in the
installer to use that for the use cases where it makes sense.
However, I asked here to see if there are other people who are
interested in this feature. Nobody else seems to be, so I suppose that
is the end of it! I have no problem with the feature not being
implemented if there is only one lonely user who desires it, and an
easy workaround exists!
Thanks!
