- I think you have hit the same problem we did - does it stop with a
- steady number (I don't remember exactly - 578?)
- It (substitute your most most appropriate expletive here) annoyed us
- since it is a "known" problem.
-
- The upgrade misses writing a line to /etc/filesystems.
-
- You will have to do the following:
- - boot to maintenance mode
- - getrootfs hdisk0 sh (if your boot logical volume spans more than one
- disk - getrootfs hdisk0 hdisk2 ....)
- (evidently /etc/continue is gone in 3.2)
- - vi /etc/filesystems
- for /, /usr and /var add the stanza "type = bootfs"
-
- -Then reboot
-
-
- Good luck!
