BUG: Unable to Reload Master DB After Upgrading SQL Server

SYMPTOMS

In certain environments, a dump of the master database created after an upgrade from SQL Server version 6.0 to SQL Server 6.5 cannot be used to re-create the master database after a system failure. In such a case, rebuilding the master device and loading the latest master dump will shut down the server as expected, however, a subsequent restart of the server will fail. At the end of the errorlog, you will find the following message:

   Getpage: bstat=0x1008/0, sstat=0x80000000, disk
      pageno is/should be: objid is/should be:
      0x211(529)      0x1(1)
      0x211(529)      0x2d(45)
   ... extent objid 0x1, mask 0xff/0, next/prev=0x210/0x210
