mkfs.ext3 /dev/brain 

The entire installation programm (its written in python) will be loaded in 
a 16MB Ramdisk (with X, netutils, kernelmoduls.. all stuff neded) and 
mounted to /.. so you can change cds during install without killing the 
installation (every distri uses this). After select (partioning, init) the 
installationtarget it will be mounted under /mnt/target so you can change 
cds.. and load alternate rpm packages.
