Hi.

I am trying to upgrade a U5 from 2.0 to -current. I booted the
netbsd-INSTALL.gz kernel. Sysinst faild when it wanted to re disklabel(8)
the disk. The screen got a bit hosed so I exited sysinst and tried by
hand:
# disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: unknown
disk: mydisk
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 218
tracks/cylinder: 10
sectors/cylinder: 2180
cylinders: 8152
total sectors: 17774160
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0 

8 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:    263780         0     4.2BSD   1024  8192     0  # (Cyl.      0 - 120)
 b:    525380    263780       swap                     # (Cyl.    121 - 361)
 c:  17774160         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 8153*)
 e:   2097160    789160     4.2BSD   2048 16384     0  # (Cyl.    362 - 1323)
 f:  14887840   2886320     4.2BSD   2048 16384     0  # (Cyl.   1324 - 8153*)
# disklabel sd0 > dl
# disklabel -r -R sd0 dl
write: No such file or directory


OK, why disklabel, there is already one on the disk, I thought.
So I went to newfs:
# newfs /dev/rsd0f
/dev/rsd0f: 7269.5MB (14887840 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
        using 40 cylinder groups of 181.75MB, 11632 blks, 22784 inodes.
wtfs: write error for sector 14887839: Undefined error: 0


So, maybe, hmmm and I tried:
# newfs /dev/sd0f
/dev/sd0f: 7269.5MB (14887840 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
        using 40 cylinder groups of 181.75MB, 11632 blks, 22784 inodes.

The machine runs 2.0 flawlessly.
Any hints?
