>Description:

I tested my newly created bootable sparc64 CD.
It started sysinst and I selected "Upgrade".

On this machine I have sd0a with -current and sd0d with 1.6.1_RC1 on it.
My idea was to upgrade the 1.6.1_RC1 to -current.

But then everything went pretty fast....

 I found only one disk, sd0.  Therefore I assume you want to upgrade NetBSD on
 it.

 Hit enter to continue

 Running Command: /sbin/fsck_ffs /dev/rsd0a

 ** /dev/rsd0a
 ** File system is clean; not checking

and it proceeded to update the installation on /dev/sd0a.

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a
>Fix:
If multiple FFS partitions are available, query for the root to upgrade (maybe
after checking if ${part}/etc exists).
