Aargh -- you might have found the real culprit there.
Unfortunately, meanwhile I figured out that the error
message was due to a corrupt /etc/rc.upgrade (read error,
I presume the flash is fried). I've copied it over from
a known good 1.2.2 installation, and tried the console
upgrade from URL. Watching bsdtar, and praying, here.

Damn, bsdtar just died (or finished correctly), and the
firewall is now rebooting. Wish me luck.
