The easiest way to upgrade is probably to:
* Build a new kernel
* Pull over the tar files in /mit/netbsd/i386.current/binaries
onto your local disk. Do NOT get etc.tar.gz
* Boot single-user mode
* From the / directory, untar the tar files
* Move the new kernel into place
* Reboot your machine
* If you want, carefully pull over some of the files in /etc
like /etc/rc, from /afs/sipb.mit.edu/system/i386_nbsd1/etc.
This isn't especially necessary.
Note that the current tar files are something like two months out of
date.
