I am trying to upgrade a T60 laptop that detects the HDD as wd0a.
After booting from the 4.2 base CD my HDD is detected as sd0 and the
installer does the fsck on sd0a. However, force checking non-root
filesystem during the installation fails as it fails to detect and do
fsck on wd0a from /etc/fstab -

"fsck -fp /dev/wd0a...FAILED. You must fsck /dev/wd0a manually."

I was wondering if I would be able to boot the new system once I
upgrade as I will not be upgrading/extracting the new etc42.tgz to
overwrite the existing /etc/fstab. So when I boot the new system
/etc/fstab will still be the old fstab and it will not recognize wd0
and will refuse to boot?

This has been mentioned here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade42.html#ahci

Any suggestion on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
