NetBSD wolfenstein 3.0 NetBSD 3.0 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Dec 19 01:04:02 UTC 2005  builds@works.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/i386/200512182024Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
I upgraded from 2.1 to 3.0. I do not remember getting any error but in the end, the system didn't boot anymore because the install program had overwritten my boot blocks with ffsv1 ones. All my partitions (including root) were ffsv2.

>How-To-Repeat:
Only tried once, but may be related to
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2006/04/08/0000.html
>Fix:
Restore ffsv2 boot blocks.
The installation/update program should be fixed accordingly.
