Hi Erling,

Thanks for posting. I was very tired when I sent the original message
and reading it over this morning I sounded like a drunken mathematician.
Of course one has to enter the passphrase. The only step I avoided
comparing to the original post was dropping into the shell before
starting the upgrade process. For the people who might be reading these
posts I was explicitly to state that I don't use a password to protect
my BIOS.
