    The Pinebook uses u-boot which loads the sun50i-a64-pinebook.dtb and
    /efi/boot/bootaa64.efi from the FAT partition.  The latter will then
    boot /netbsd from the FFS partition.  Unless something really major
    has changed it should be sufficient to just replace /netbsd.  If you
    want to make sure, download the new kernel as /netbsd.new, then
    interrupt the countdown when booting by pressing space and type 
    "boot /netbsd.new".  If everything works, mv /netbsd /netbsd.old and
    mv /netbsd.new /netbsd (and if something breaks you can still "boot
    /netbsd.old").
