it was meant not. but other "issues - like xbmc (not configurable?) hot plugging" are forcing us until solution to again have it auto mounted on boot.

please edit your /etc/fstab by removing "noajto" from /boot. It's not yet in published update, but will be soon. without this, last update of config-xbmc will not work at all, other utils will trigger constant popups on xbmc screen.

and I'm glad someone noticed the independence on rootfs partition location needed rewrite almost of all components. although from outside it looks still like the Alpha5, from inside we changed almost everything. so beta1 is like "with all the changes, try to make it work as before". later updates will slowly introduce features and benefits from the changes.

I got to the pi today and surprisingly it was up and showing the main screen. I checked the version and it was now at 1B1.1. So why it vanished off the network after the upgrade I don't know!

filesystem is converted from ext4 to btrfs upon reboot. some users reported this to take even as much as 40 minutes (depends on size of roots, speed of the device, utilization etc).
