Please let me report my experiences when installing the F9 Beta preview:
0. The disk naming scheme has been changed: in my F8 box, I have a
SATA disk called /dev/sda
and an IDE disk called /dev/sdb; in F9, the names have been exchanged.
This is a property of the kernel as of sometime around f8 I believe.
These names cannot be considered reliable. However you can address your
disks by UUID instead of name now.
1. I copied my F8 (on my SATA disk) from /dev/sdb1 into partition
/dev/sdb9, then upgraded F8
on /dev/sdb9.
But after the upgrade was performed, I saw that F8 on /dev/sdb1 had
been upgraded and not that
F8 on /dev/sdb9, and all partitions were re-labelled with some UUIDs.
See previous comment for partial explanation
2. I copied the install iso to some partition and booted the installer
with "askmethod".
When prompted, I choosed "install from local harddrive" instead of
"local DVD", but the
installation still was done DVD based.
3. After booting the fresh installed F9, I waited for "firstboot", but
the box hung,
and firstboot could not be seen (the boot was done into initmode 5).
As workaround i booted again in initmode 3, then the firstboot
was presented.
