Symbolic Link Dies on 1.1.2 But There Is Still Hope

Looks like Apple has fixed the symbolic link exploit which allows to access the 1.1.1 rootfs after upgrading.

However, the door has not been fully closed yet ;) Instead of using a symbolic link, just make a hard link (mknod a device) as shown below:

mknod ~/Media/disk0s1 c 14 1

 After upgrading from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2, the above hard link still works, and the full system partition can be dumped to a standard DMG, the dumped DMG is mountable on Mac OS X.
