(Apologies if similar content has already appeared -- I thought I sent 
it, but I see no sign of it in my inbox or outbox.)

After upgrading one machine to 1.6, I burned a CD to aid in subsequent 
upgrades.  I followed the instructions in the FAQ on the web site.  But 
trying to use CD produced weird results.

On both machines where I tried it, a desktop and a laptop, sysinst 
fsck'd something I don't think it should have (especially in the 
desktop case), complained that the file systems were dirty (they 
weren't), and -- no matter what I told fsck about marking it clean -- 
refused to proceed with the upgrade.  For the desktop, the "offending" 
file system was /dev/rsd1a, where I keep /tmp; for the laptop, it was
/dev/wd0e, aka /usr.  (I can understand why it was concerned about /
usr, but why did it worry about /tmp, when I told it to do the upgrade 
on sd0, not sd1?)

But the really strange thing is that when I retried the installations 
from floppies, it all just worked.  (Well, I have my usual gripe that 
it wipes out my symlink /home->/usr/home and replaces it with an empty 
directory -- and that has me afraid to ever go to a one-partition 
system, for fear of what it will do to a real /home directory -- but 
that's not a big deal here.)

Anyway -- here are the contents of my bootable CD.  The boot image was 
taken from boot-big.fs, exactly according to the instructions.  There 
are a few extra kernels lying around binary/kernel, but that was for 
local reasons, including PR kern/11925....
