Most often, I have no problems with system upgrades, but this one 
caught me.  I find my firewire 120GB SmartDisk operation to be erratic. 
  It doesn't show up on the desktop, but mounts in Disk Utility 
sometimes, but not all the time.  It works nominally when I boot into a 
10.3.5 drive.

I'm still using 10.3.6, with the firewire drive unmounted.  Just 
waiting for a solution from Apple.
