Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! When getting a new kernel, it's usually
best to NOT delete the old one (if it works). Since the current one
doesn't work, you're fine. But in the future, cpin the new one &
name it netbsd.something.else. Tell the booter to boot off of it,
and see if it works. Then mv the old one to something like
/netbsd.old or /netbsd.dist (standard distribution), etc. Then mv or
ln the new one to "/netbsd".
