System: NetBSD azenomei.falu.nl 1.5.1_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5.1_ALPHA (AZENOMEI) #14: Thu Jan 11 01:09:29 CET 2001 rhialto@azenomei.falu.nl:/vol1/rhialto/sup/root/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/AZENOMEI alpha


>Description:
	I was trying to upgrade my Alpha with sysinst on sd0. I know the
	standard kernel cannot handle my wd0 but no system stuff is on
	it, so it should not make a difference.

	So sysinst asks if I want to install on sd0 or wd0, I choose
	sd0, and it starts to fsck.  Then, guess what happens: it tries
	to fsck wd0a, and fails. Then it aborts the upgrade.

	I think that if I choose sd0, wd0 should not be checked. On the
	other hand, it is a peeve of mine that sysinst does not support
	installs spread out over multiple disks, so maybe that is too
	drastic. Sysinst could check mount points, and/or ask the user
	if this partition should be ignored (thus not mounted) during
	the upgrade.

>How-To-Repeat:
	see above.

>Fix:
	Workaround (thanks to Pållen): remove or comment out wd0a from
	the fstab before the upgrade procedure.

-Olaf.
