Subject: Floating point exception during 1.4 upgrade...

Hello,
Since my problem happened on the i386 platform, I am sending this to
port-i386 in addition to netbsd-help.
I have a 1.3.3 system that I tried to upgrade to 1.4 last night and during
the installation I saw these messages (sysinst was running from the boot
disk):
uid 0 on /: file system full
/: write failed, file system is full
Foating point exception
There was a core dump for sysinst and at the command prompt I ran df.
The output for the root file system is:
/dev/md0a 1375 1124 251 81% /
I then re-ran sysinst and got the following message:
Help! No /etc/fstab in target disk wd0.
Anyone else seen this? Luckily, I did have a backup, and I was able to
perform a new installation on the disk without problems.
I have one more system that I need to upgrade, and I'm wondering if
others have seen this problem, or know how to solve it. In case it
matters, the system is a Dell Pentium, 166Mhz, with 128MB memory.
Brian
