There are no upgrade program for NetBSD/vax, you will have to
upgrade your system by hand. Anyway, here are small hints about
how to do it:
* First replace the kernel, /boot and the boot blocks
with new ones. The boot system has changed since 1.2.
* Reboot the system to be sure you run with the new kernel.
* Untar the wanted distributions. Remember to use the --unlink
flag to tar, otherwise you will run into trouble.
* Reboot the system once again.
* Now you will (hopefully) be up and running in the new world.
NOTE: you SHOULD NOT extract the `etc' set if upgrading. Instead, you
should extract that set into another area and carefully merge the changes
by hand.
