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, right?

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.

AAAARGH!!!!
