System: NetBSD seduction.immanent.net 2.0_BETA NetBSD 2.0_BETA (SEDUCTION) #2: Sat Jun 26 20:36:36 CDT 2004 fredb@seduction.immanent.net:/p/i386--netbsd2/obj/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SEDUCTION i386

>Description:

	"sysinst" offers a choice of upgrading on "raid0" -- so far so
	good, but then it chokes, saying "raid2p" fails to fsck. Escaping
	to the shell shows that only raid0 was configured, which would be
	fine, except for that "sysinst" evidently wants to "fsck" everything
	in "/etc/fstab".
>How-To-Repeat:

	I think it will fail whenever you have more than one raid device.
	It doesn't even matter if you choose to upgrade on one of the raid
	devices, or not.
>Fix:

	I seem to remember that it works to comment out unnecessary
	partitions from "/etc/fstab", although that fact slipped my mind
	when I was testing "sysinst" this afternoon. It would be reasonable
	to configure more raid partitions automatically. The INSTALL kernel
	already has "pseudo-device raid 8". Is it that some of the default
	raid devices are missing from "/dev"?
