1There are no upgrade program for NetBSD/vax, you will have to
2upgrade your system by hand. Anyway, here are small hints about
3how to do it:
4
5	* First replace the kernel, /boot and the boot blocks
6	  with new ones. The boot system has changed since 1.2.
7
8	* Reboot the system to be sure you run with the new kernel.
9
10	* Untar the wanted distributions. Remember to use the --unlink
11	  flag to tar, otherwise you will run into trouble.
12
13	* Reboot the system once again.
14
15	* Now you will (hopefully) be up and running in the new world.
16
17NOTE: you SHOULD NOT extract the `etc' set if upgrading.  Instead, you
18should extract that set into another area and carefully merge the changes
19by hand.
