[SunHELP] Solaris 9 upgrade failing

I'm attempting to do a Solaris 7 to Solaris 9 upgrade.  It's failing with 
the following error:

  ERROR:  Mount failed for either root, swap, or other file system.

The line above it says:

  Checking c0t0d0s0 for an updradable Solaris image

That is where root would be when the system is running under Solaris 7.  
Right now it's mounted at /a for some reason (part of the normal upgrade 
I'm assuming).

I'm assuming that the CD is mounted as the root file system.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
