Is there some kind of a known bug in the 2.2-ALPHA install program (from boot.flp) which kills off the partition table when you try to upgrade? I tried it twice to verify that there was a problem. I was running 2.1.0 on two of my machines, 486quick150 and hobbes. I upgraded 486Quick150 to 2.1.5 many weeks ago, and upgraded hobbes to 2.1.6 later with no problems using the upgrade routine in sysinstall. I tried upgrading to 2.2-ALPHA on hobbes the other night, and it toasted the parition table by the time I got to disklabel to mount the existing partitions (in the upgrade process). There was nothing there to mount. I figured it was a fluke, but I re-installed 2.1.6 and tried upgrading again to be sure. It toasted the partition again, so something is a little whacky in there, especially since the routine in 2.1.6 works fine. Any ideas? Later...... <Doug>
