You must be upgrading from a 2.2.X system. That's a normal (an unfortunate)
problem upgrading from 2.2.X to current. The aout->elf upgrade handles
this by saving the reboot program before installing the new one. You might
as well just sync the disk and cycle the power. This has worked for me
on the 6 or so occasions I forgot about reboot.
