We have noticed a couple times that if /boot is very full BEFORE 
preupgrade downloads anything, it will prompt to do a network based 
preupgrade which works well.

We are now planning to always slam junk into /boot before running 
preupgrade :)

The networked version should ALWAYS show as an option, in my opinion.

Good Luck!
