About 25 years ago, I got to the 29th floppy disk out of 30 when installing
SCO UNIX on a PC and mistakenly hit the PC's power button rather than the
floppy disk eject button.
Suffice it to say, there was no "Continue installation" option, I had to
start all over again and sit there for another 2 hours reinstalling it.
