That works and I was able to get & attach the dmesg here. Thanks.
Hopefully that helps someone point out what to do about the reboot during
upgrade shortly after "Mounting root filesystem".
To consolidate answers in one sub-thread: I also tried, on the upgrade

no such disk
Available disks are:none.
