System: NetBSD sinus 1.3.1 NetBSD 1.3.1 (SINUS) #0: Tue Apr 21 15:47:19 CEST 1998 ignatios@sinus:/usr/obj/kernel/SINUS i386
>Description:
After checking our /dev/wd0e file system (/usr), sysinst claims it
cannot mount it on /mnt/usr because it is busy.
Some further experiments seem to indicate that sysinst tried to mount the
last original file system twice.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to upgrade a i486 machine from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2.
>Fix:
Don't know.
workarounds (guess):
backup customized data and install instead
