1)	Use the "upgrade" option, don't "reinstall"; you won't have
	to edit disklabels or anything.

2)	If you have run pwd_mkdb since the on disk version changed,
	you will lose access to your current password file until
	you rebuild and reinstall the new code.  To get in, you
	will need to boot from the CD, go into the "emergency"
	shell, and then mount and chroot to the disk FS, so you
	can do your build as "root".
