I don't know enough about the cvt command, but perhaps the results were the same for 'cvt 800 600' because we specified a given resolution, and at that resolution, they might be the same for even...

Upgrade installed smoothly, but after reboot, no joy. :(
I get a BusyBox prompt after it doesn't find the hard drive. It appears that the /dev/disk is not found by default.
