I'm trying to upgrade a Sparc Station 5 from 2.5.1 to 2.6. When I go to
do the install it tells me that I don't have enough space on /. Not a
big deal. It will let me back up and re-partition. The problem is that
when it goes to repartition it can't unmount the drives. Any ideas?
I've commented out everything I can think of in the vfstab. Even
unmounted swap. Any ideas would be helpfull

Thanks is advance!

What do you think about booting from the CDROM?
Escaping to a shell (or switch -sw for the boot process).
Make a free slice on one disk, copy the root-filesystem
to this slice. Shrink the swap and grow the old root-filesystem.
Make a new filesystem, copy the copied back and don't forget
the installboot.
Thats all folks...
