Don't be put off by airheads > confusing requests for help with requests for put-downs. anyways, it doesn't matter... I did the upgrade w/o using sysinstall, and made sure that the first thing after the PATH gets setup in /etc/rc is to run the sysctl, but it still wasn't enough to prevent me getting a corrupt fs the first time I booted...
