Installer Upgrade - "No root partition defined. Cannot continue"

[gary%duzan.org@localhost]

   I'm trying to upgrade an amd64 VPS running 11.0 to 11.1 via the
netbsd-INSTALL kernel (added boot.cfg entry). I can boot into the
installer, select Upgrade, and select the target device (xbd0), but
can't get past the "No root partition defined" message. I just used the
same scheme to get from 10.2 to 11.0 about a week ago, so it seems like
it should work.

   This is a test VM, so it isn't urgent, and I can try out any solutions
as desired.

   Thanks.

p.s. The netbsd-11 build from releng wasn't any better.

p.p.s. It would be nice to have the NetBSD-daily binary files available
via rsync like the main releases. The ones listed on the mirror page
didn't have them.
