The only reason I can see for this, is that you have an entry for a
floppy filesystem (something like "/dev/fd0a /floppy ffs rw,noauto 0 0")
in your /etc/fstab on the system you want to upgrade. Is this correct?

If so, the bug is that sysinst wants to fsck all your ffs filesystems,
but ignores 'noauto', which is easy to fix.
