I think they are all just split, compressed tar files...  You will have to
do them all the way the manual describes.

Here is what I do (assuming i386 architecture here)

cd /sys/arch/i386/conf
cp GENERIC NEWTOY		# GENERIC might not exist in 1.2.1...  use
emacs NEWTOY			#   one that is close to what you want
/usr/sbin/config NEWTOY		# If you are ROOT, "config NEWTOY" works
cd ../compile/NEWTOY
make depend && make
(crunch)
cp /netbsd /onetbsd		# Save the old kernel, so you can boot it
cp netbsd /netbsd		#   if this one is somehow broken
shutdown -r now
