The upgrade to NetBSD _VER is a binary upgrade; it can be quite difficult
to advance to a later version by recompiling from source due primarily
to interdependencies in the various components.
To do the upgrade, you must have the bootable install floppy
(boot.fs). You must also have at least the "base.tgz" binary
distribution set available, so that you can upgrade with it, using one
of the upgrade methods described below. Finally, you must have
sufficient disk space available to install the new binaries. Since
the old binaries are being overwritten in place, you only need space
for the new binaries, which weren't previously on the system. If you
have a few megabytes free on each of your root and /usr partitions,
you should have enough space.
