This is weird, and I will look into it when I get back home.  I tested
the FTP upgrade and NFS installation procedures during my shake-out
period, but I can't say that I tested an NFS upgrade.  They should be
the same, and there's no difference between the way "upgrade" uses the
media and the way that the standard install uses it, so this is quite
odd.
