Dan, I'm curious how you did the initial install. It sounds like the file system label is missing on the 'RUNNIX' partition. With it missing, you can still upgrade, but you'll need to manually mount the partition. (usually /dev/hda1)
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /oldroot/cdrom Then you'll see the 'os' directory and all that fun stuff. If you did the install with astlinux-0.6.2-XX.img the file system lable should be there. If you did a manual runnix install, you'll need to at some point, pull the CF card out of the system and add a label to the vfat partition. The label needs to be RUNNIX.
