On 3.0, if I launch Installer.app from a Terminal window su'ed to root,
it does not think that I have changed the floppy when in fact I have
(and put in the right one).  If I log out and log in on the console as
root, Installer.app works fine.

I've tried this with systems that have both and internal and an external
floppy.

This is definitely a pain, since I like to be able to stay logged in to
my normal account and still do the occasional system administration
things, like installing new software.  For every other sysadmin thing
I've done, that is possible.
