Following the recent discussion on the list about installation media now 
might be my opportunity to slip in a novice question.

I've been successfully running NetBSD1.0 on my HP 400 for quite some time 
now and with 
version 1.2 due out soon I was considering upgrading. I've just read the 
installation notes for 1.1 and failed to understand whether I will be 
able to upgrade without either a tape drive or a system running HPUX.

Does the 1.1/1.2 upgrade program just run on my current 1.0 system and 
install a new boot image/kernel/filesystem or do I have to try to go 
through booting SYS_INST again [ I've moved from the site where I had 
access to HPUX ]. ( I can get hold of a release using ftp ).

Sorry if this is in the documentation and I've just failed to understand 
it, perhaps it could be made clearer??

Thanks for any advice.

Tony
