 Mount it manually on /targetroot or / once before trying the upgrade, the
 "last mounted on" info (like: dumpfs $disk | fgrep fsmnt) needs to
 look like something that was / before sysinst will autodetect it.
 
 The "cannot continue" part is stupid, it lacks a manual partition
 selector (SMOP, but tedious).

 You mean install kernel with ramdisk as root? That would do it.
