I finally managed to get 1.5.2 on my machine. Now I need to upgrade to 1.5.3, because it has drivers for my RAID card. I can't boot from the 1.5.3 installer CD. If I do, I get some error about 'no init'.

So now I want to update while I'm booted into 1.5.2. Is that possible? My /stand dir is empty -- I have no idea why, because I didn't delete anything (I just installed NetBSD half an hour ago). Can I copy the sysinst from the CD? If yes, how?

Thanks,
Daniel
