that's because you boot from a (virtual?) cdrom during the install process.
typically this is sdD0. when you boot from the normal system, you boot
from the virtual hard drive, sdC0. the super special el torito process
makes a cdrom appear differently when its booted from than when
it's just accessed normally.
