etcXX.tgz does not contain an fstab file. disklabel generates it at install time. your solution is to boot the installed 4.1, edit fstab (replace all wd0 by sd0), save & boot the CD and proceed with upgrade as usual. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
