Thanks for the pointer!
One down side of an upgrade in-place is that you don't get the larger
root partition that is now default and you don't get UFS2 file systems
on your partitions.
I almost never take the default installation options whenever I'm
building a system. They almost always result in the root filesystem
being laughably small, or whatever. In my case, I've got a 256MB
root filesystem with 150MB free, so I think I'm okay there. I did
get burned with /usr being too small, even at 2GB. With all the
ports and stuff I've installed, I had to move /usr/local to a
separate filesystem (which I already had), and put a symlink in place.
As for UFS2, since I can't get this machine to boot off CD-ROM
with the 5.x images (at least, not the ones I've tried in the past),
I would like to keep the system in UFS1 anyway, just in case I need
to reboot off the 4.x CD-ROMs and try to do some recovery things.
