Since booting the new kernel works, you could download:

https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0_RC6/amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-INSTALL.gz

and put it in your (9.3) / dir, reboot, interrupt the boot countdown and drop
to the boot prompt, then do: boot netbsd-INSTALL.gz

This should load a 10.0_RC6 kernel with embedded ramdisk and installer.
In sysinst select upgrade and fetch sets via network.
