description: 
Durring installation, just before diskdrake would ordinarily start, 
installation stops with the message "Oops, no root partition". 
 
This happens on beta 1 and beta 2. 
 
It happens because 9.2 saw SATA drives as scsi devices, but 10.0 sees them as 
ide.  Changing fstab entries from sdaX to hdaX etc. on the target system 
before the update allows it to proceed.  (In my case, the perl script scans 
fstab looking for /dev/hda5, but since root is /dev/sda5 it doesn't find it.)
