Hi Janne,

Sort of. This laptop was installed with a fresh 7.6 build and ergo has FDE. So 
actual device is sd0 - but booting crypto device is sd1 (root fs). This is a 
standard install - all defaults, just any sysupgrades ;-)

Prior sysupgrades seemed to handle this fine.

Regards

Does it boot off the drive that the sysupgrade environment thinks is
"sd1" or not?

My guess is that the scripts are trying to figure out which drive the
BIOS sees first, and place-or-update a bootblock there, but if there
is a mismatch between what it guesses and where the root filesystem
(or the /boot file) is, then the message seems correct.

This doesn't prevent you having a booting system, but there are
several ways to have weird setups with (for instance) the bootblocks
on one drive and the root fs on another. In such a case one could get
that message while the system still "works", though perhaps the
bootblocks are never updated on the drive that actually does the
initial boot.
