This brings up a question I've had -- what, precisely, does one have to 
say to make that work?

On my NetBSD machines, I have two file systems, / and /usr.  Is it 
possible to have upgrade sets on /usr when doing an upgrade?  I 
couldn't figure out how to make that work.  When I treated /usr as 
unmounted, it always claimed there was no such path; when I treated it 
as mounted, it complained that it couldn't mount /usr.  

I ended up very carefully untarring the binary sets by hand...
