>Description:
As described on the current-users list circa 2003 Jun 20, existing 
kernel 'make install' runs as follows:

    # make -n install
    rm -f /onetbsd
    ln /netbsd /onetbsd
    cp netbsd /nnetbsd
    mv /nnetbsd /netbsd

Documents inconsistently prescribe a manual version:

  http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current
    mv /netbsd /onetbsd 
    mv sys/arch/<ARCH>/compile/GENERIC/netbsd / 

  http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel
    mv /netbsd /netbsd.old
    mv /sys/arch/<ARCH>/compile/<MYCONF>/netbsd /"

It would be best to use a consistent method, and document it!
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
    rm /netbsd.old
    ln /netbsd /netbsd.old
    sync
    sleep 5
    install -cpr netbsd /
    sync
    sleep 5
