Surely you remember.

One of the 10.3 betas failed, during first install, to properly close the 
root filesystem before halting, prodicing a filesystem that had to be 
repaired. Unfortunately, if it was xfs, this operation failed and the 
system was unbootable and the install procedure failed. Other filesystems 
could recover from that situation, but xfs could not: don't ask me why 
(perhaps because the tools were old: they have been updated a month ago).

There were reports here in this list and prbably a bugzilla.
