Sounds as though you somehow used fx to decrease the size of the
volume header below the size used by sash and other program in
the volhdr.

|   Cannot load scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)ide

16 is the arcs ENOMEM.  Sounds like the ide in the volume header
may have been trashed.

I assume you mean you can boot from CD; it certainly shouldn't boot
from disk if the upgrade was completed OK.

I've not heard of people having these problems before; perhaps you
can describe what, if anything,  you did after installing the new
software that might have been 'unusual'.
