You installed the old 1995 release of NetBSD?

You don't need to upgrade by each individual version since then. I would
guess that could take weeks :)

Does your Thinkpad have a serial connection?

Maybe you can use a recent boot disk (with sysinst customized to allow
sl(4)  to be one of the network device choices) and install over a serial
connection.

Do some searches on the netbsd mailing lists about low memory; I think 4MB
should be fine, but you may need to have a cleaned up kernel.
