I have found that when I install 5.1a onto a 4.0f system that
previously had LSM root drive(s), and I install onto a drive other than one
of the 4.0f root drives, the installation does "checking for a previous LSM
configuration" before it installs. It goes back and picks up all of the
definitions from the old root drives, and I have garbage like this in my LSM
configuration:

I can install the OS with a customized install.cdf. Is there any
way that I can tell the installer not to go back and look for that previous
LSM configuration? When I install onto one of the old root drives, I just
remove the d parition from the mirror, but obviously I can't do that from
both sides of the mirror before I shut down, nor can I deport rootdg. I'm
doing this remotely, so removing a disk isn't an option. I've tried setting
bootdef_dev to null and that doesn't help.
Any ideas?
thanks
