All worked fine until the installer ran after reboot. It hit a problem
with mounting /boot (md0). The boot partition couldn't be mounted, so
the installer quit.
It didn't provide any detailed information, so I am stumped once again.
At least on reboot the server comes back and boots the existing
installation which is good.
