Something went wrong when trying to update the fstab entry. Aborting upgrade

[FooFighter]

system: Alix box with latest firmware

(slice ad0s1 is currently running)
1.2.3-RC3
built on Mon Oct 5 23:56:45 UTC 2009
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4 i386

I tried to update to this release:
pfSense-1.2.3-RC3-512mb-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz - 2009-Nov-05 16:02:33 36.6M

Is there a solution besides unscrewing my alix and manually flashing my CF?

best regards,

nope, no feedback so far  :'(

as the copy process before this error seems to be ok, a manual guide for the last few steps in the shell would help me out.

October is pretty old, unfortunately.  NanoBSD was a moving target up until a brief bit ago.

In these cases you will have to reflash.
