1. the first thing I'd check is the actual size of the slices, /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 15G 8.7G 5.9G 60% /.alt.nv91
1.5 also if you burned the dvd yourself, maybe do a checksum on the original image Of course I did, and it was correct 2. it looks like you had failsafe installed for the new nv91 BE so... not tried this myself No, I didn't. I don't know what this is, and didn't do anything but the commands I found in this thread. you should be able to "luactivate nv91" and then boot into the failsafe session. This is exactly what I did last time, with nv81 luupgrade(d) from nv79, when the new BE failed with some panic. But when a luactivate of the old one also resulted in a panic, no more help was forthcoming and I had to reinstall. :( Bitten once, I don't want to play the fool again. This is why I asked for a HowTo in the first place this time around, and followed meticulously, plus the vfstab-umount that was explained in the thread to Roman's question; but not a single keystroke more. And despite of following and documenting all steps and outcomes here, I seem to be heading for another fail. I don't mind deleting the new BE and start from scratch. Having been sysadmin and in FOSS (Linux, BSD) for close to 10 years, I can't believe that liveupdate doesn't work for me, so I don't mind learning.
