Your Amiga example is fine, asking for the second of a pair of production

which will inevitably not fit into any message box or space allowed for
file name display. You will end up having to scroll around , resize
everything and even then you will probably be missing the filename cos it
got chopped off.
Well, I see no point of naming a mount point the label of the disk,
when an installer can just look at the label when a disk is inserted
for automatic detection anyways! So we are talking about how well
an installer is written. Having these mount points do not improve
the usability of the installer.
