Subject:   [HELP] - Upgrade from 2.2.8 -> 3.3

Good morning, 

I'm trying to upgrade a 2.2.8 Release machine to 3.3-Stable this morning,
using ftp install
as I have done time and again...  Although this one is goint to teach me a
few things apparently.

I have no problems mounting the slices and such, and when I go to do the
ftp, something is going
horribly wrong...

As it is ftp'ing things down, its dumping them in /mnt instead of /mnt/usr 
and I'm running out of space.

here is a copy of the df after things barf.

omega: {57} % more blah
Filesystem      512-blocks      Used    Avail   Cap     Mounted On
fd0c            5607            2881    2278    56%     /
/dev/wd0s1a     127134          120084  -3120   103%    /mnt
/mnt/dev/wd0s1f 2684366         1017226 1452392 41%     /mnt/usr
/mnt/dev/wd0s1e 254302          203084  30874   87%     /mnt/var


I'm pretty darn sure that I've got things mounted correctly.  Something
thats goofy here
(or maybe I've just never paid attention before)
but even tho the root filesystem fd0c, if I do a cd /
I get the root partition of my hard drive, not the floppy...


I would appreciate any clues...  Learning experiences are a good thing
overall.
