Hi Mike,

It's possible that your disk device names changed during the upgrade and
/etc/fstab can no longer mount the previous device on /usr/local.  Do
you see any error messages during the boot process?

Please reply to the list with the output from the following commands:

ls -l /dev/da*  # Assuming SCSI disks
ls -l /dev/ad*  # Assuming ATA disks
cat /etc/fstab

That information may help figure out what happened to the devices during
the upgrade.

Regards,
Greg
