I have succesfully upgraded from NetBSD-1.3_BETA to NetBSD-1.3.
I am so happy that such a sofisticated Operating System is
available freely with sources. I thank very much for the team 
worked for the release.

The way I took for upgrading for 1.3_BETA to 1.3 is:
I did mount fresh SCSI disk separately and open tar file on it
( base, etc, kern files only ). And then changes some file on
/mounted/etc, sh MAKEDEV, and rebooted.

One strange thing that gzip on New 1.3 has a problem.
xserver.tgz
xcontrib.tgz
xfont.tgz
can not be decompressed with crc error.
(So I gunzip those files on different machine.)

I will attach the sample session for uncompressing and also the
booting message of the machine.

Does anybody get the similar thing ?
