Sorry,

My mistake.
I forgot to change the permission recursively. I just changed the
permission for the /mnt/install folder but inside that still denied.

now doing this solved the problem
=============================================
# chmod -R 777 /mnt/install

and fstab entry
/dev/hdb1               /mnt/install            ext3    defaults 1 1
=============================================

Thanks
