Check that your /export/root partition on the server is big enough, and
there is room in your /export in general.  I had a similair problem doing
the 4.0.3 remote upgrade. I created a swap area that was to small because
I followed the example in the manual which is wrong.  The miniroot used in
the install is put in the swap area and will blow up right away if it is
too small. Also you will want 3-5K  to spare or things will blow up late
in the process.

If you don't have room on the server you are in for some real work.
