Has nothing to do with networking; he's ssh'ed into his image. Has
nothing to do with 3270; he has just shown the output of both
terminals.

I don't have a solution, but I think I did a bit better at reading
the problem than you have...

Yup.  You're right.

And there's another clue we've been missing:

SuSE says you should do ssh -X (to port forward X sessions): do you
need an X server to run the installation?  In which case, Hummingbird
SSH or XFree86 (Cygwin) plus xterm plus ssh?  I haven't done any SLES
9 installs from anything but Linux boxes, and I don't remember
whether you need X or not.

I find it odd that failing to unmount a directory that wasn't mounted
in the first place would be a fatal error, too.  I'm wondering if the
error message is not coming from the attempted cleanup after the
installer fails (perhaps because it can't find an X display to use).
