>Description:
	
sysinst does a good job (better than I expected) of handling the original
fstab when upgrading.  Ie. it mounts all the fs's in the original hierarchy
under /mnt.

This works fine unless there are symlinks like /usr/local -> /abc/xyz
This is not an easy thing to deal with, but making symlinks in / for
each dir or symlink in /mnt that does not already exist in / would
go a long way to fixing it.  Eg. if /mnt/abc existed and /abc -> /mnt/abc
things would just work.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
Create /usr/local -> /share/arch/NetBSD/i386
and then try upgrading.

>Fix:
	
cd /
for x in /mnt/*
do
	test -d $x -o -h $x || continue
	b=`basename $x`
	test -e $b || ln -s $x .
done
