Subject: i386 upgrade w/o floppy

I'm trying to upgrade an old machine I have (AMD 486x133) that has been
running NetBSD 1.3.2. Something seems to be wrong with the floppy
interface (2 drives have not been able to do i/o on the system). I
thought perhaps I could put a netbsd-INSTALL 1.5 kernel on the root
filesystem and do "boot netbsd.INSTALL" but that gives a load error
(wrong file type, I think).
Can anyone suggest a workaround to get this machine upgraded? It has a
working CD but I don't know how I could run the upgrade from it.
Thanks!
