	Sounds like README.sup should be changed! sup is for tracking
	the 'bleeding edge' -current development sources, which are
	usually stable, but can be very much not so.
	
	If you want to upgrade your system to 1.2 you should download the
	binaries for your arch from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-1.2/
	and follow the upgrade instructions there. You can also download
	the NetBSD-1.2 source from there to enable you to compile a kernel
	tuned for your system, or any given binary.

	If you have any problems doing this, post again letting the list 
	know what they are.
