	After booting my system with my two newly minted boot floppies: 
boot1.fs and boot2.fs, I run into trouble upgrading in sysinst.
	I have the necessary tgz's in

/usr/src/release/binary/sets
  	
	 When I get to the point of choosing the destination of the binary 
sets, I have tried two different approaches:

1) Upgrade from a directory that is local

I specified

/usr/src/release/binary/sets

and the installer told me that wasn't a directory.  Entirely possible 
if the appopriate partition of my drive wasn't mounted at the time,

/dev/wd0f, with /usr/src

as the mount point.

2) Upgrade from a filesystem that isn't mounted

I specified wd0f and wd0 as the devices, with the filesystem FFS.  I 
specified each of the following as directories at one point:

/release/binary/sets
/mnt/release/binary/sets
/usr/src/release/binary/sets

Nothing has worked.  The error is either that what I enter isn't a 
directory or that sysinst couldn't mount the specified directory.  I'm 
sure I'm missing some magic here.  Could someone tell me the proper 
incantation?
