>Environment:
System: NetBSD noon2 1.6.2
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	I tried upgrading a laptop from 1.6.2 to 2.0(_BETA) using
	sysinst (after my last manual update triggered nasty errors
	in fdisk, and I was asked why I didn't use sysinst), and it
	failed due to filesystem incompatibilities. Screens I get
	in sysinst:

--- screen #1:
	Status: command failed
	Command: /sbin/fsck_ffs -p -q /dev/rwd0a
	Hit enter to continue

	/dev/rwd0a: BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN
	FIRST ALTERNATE

	/dev/rwd0a: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY

--- screen #2:
	It appears that /dev/wd0a is not a BSD file system or the fsck was not
	successful. The upgrade has been aborted. (Error number 8.)

--- screen #3:
	Status: Command failed
	Command: mv /targetroot/etc /targetroot/etc.old
	Hit enter to continue

	mv: rename /targetroot/etc to /targetroot/etc.old: No such file or directory
--- screenshots (10-finger-dump) end


>How-To-Repeat:
	1) Install 1.6.2
	2) Upgrade to 2.0 using sysinst's upgrade optioin

>Fix:
	The error should be caught, and an option to run
	"fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4" should be given, following src/UPDATING
	instructions from 20040109; see also
	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/current-users/2004/01/11/0022.html
