FC4->FC5 upgrade problems

Hi,

I tried upgrade my FC4 box to FC5 from DVD, but I got the message
Code:
Error mounting device /mnt/disk1/home as
/home: No such file or directory

This most likely means this partition
has not been formatted.

Press OK to reboot your system.
The only action at this point is to push the "OK" button for the
reboot.

My fstab file is following
Code:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for
details
LABEL=/         /          ext3    defaults      1 1
LABEL=/boot     /boot      ext3    defaults      1 2
/dev/hda8       /mnt/disk1 ext3    defaults      1 2
/mnt/disk1/usr  /usr       none    bind          0 0
/mnt/disk1/home /home      none    bind          0 0
/mnt/disk1/var  /var       none    bind          0 0

none            /dev/pts   devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none            /dev/shm   tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none            /proc      proc    defaults        0 0
none            /sys       sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hdb3       swap       swap    defaults        0 0
I skip several unimportant lines from fstab (mounting CD-ROM,
DVD, floppy, and win partitions). It is not clear from fstab that
/dev/hdb2=/
/dev/hdb1=/boot
hda1, hda5, hda6, hda7 are win partitions.

This fstab is correct. I found (from ALT-F2 console) that anaconda installer
mounted / and /boot correctly to /mnt/sysimage, then skiped line
Code:
/dev/hda8       /mnt/disk1 ext3    defaults      1 2
(why??), and then failed mount /home.

Is it possibbe to say anaconda installer what partitions should be mounted?

Any ideas how to upgrade such system?

Mikhail Kalenkov.
