Hmm, it should work but I think you said the problem you had was after the 
reboot with the network card, so it could not download the install.img etc and 
continue the upgrade.
Maybe upgrade by DVD would be best for you then..

FYI my layout, 

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1               72G   17G   54G  24% /
tmpfs                 502M  940K  501M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/md0              190M   38M  143M  22% /boot
/dev/sda1              38G  7.1G   29G  20% /media/%media%backup
