-The preferred upgrade path is to set up a diskless-boot host, unpack
-and boot the \*V diskimage as for a network installation, and to use
-the sysinst tool to upgrade your system.   Please see the
-.Sx Installation
-section for  further information.

-If you cannot netboot, the recommended path is to upgrade by booting a
-diskimage from your swap partition.  Pmaxes cannot boot out out of
-anything but the
-.Ic a
-partition. However, you
-.Em can No boot an upgrade
-kernel off your
-.Ic a
-partition and tell that kernel to use your
-.Ic b
-partition as its root.  The steps to do this
-(after you've  fetched the diskimage) with a current root of rzX are:
-.Bl -enum
-.It
-Boot single-user from your current root, rzX.
-.No \&Be Em sure
-not to start swapping:
-.D1 \*>\*> Ic "boot -f rz(0,X,0)netbsd -s      # 3100
-.D1 \*>\*> Ic "boot 5/rzX/netbsd -s            # 5000/200
-.D1 \*>\*> Ic "boot 3/rzX/netbsd -s            # others
-.(Note
-replace the X with the unit number of your disk:
-boot 3/rz2/netbsd to boot drive 2 on a 5000/xxx.
-.Note)
-.It
-When you get a single-user prompt,  remount the
-root filesystem read-write. (You wil need to update the
-kernel soon.)
-.D1 # Ic mount /
-Then mount the filesystem with the diskimage, and
-uncompress and dd the diskimage into swap (b) partition.
-You will also need /usr mounted to run gunzip:
-.D1 # Ic mount\ /usr
-.D1 # Sy "gunzip -c diskimage.gz | dd bs=10240 of=/dev/rrzXb
-.It
-Mount swap (b) partition readonly on /mnt:
-.D1 # Ic "mount -r -t ffs /dev/rzXb /mnt
-.It
-Copy  the kernel from the B partition to your root:
-.D1 # Ic "cp -p  /mnt/netbsd /netbsd-1.3
-(this is important; you want the kernel in / and  swap
-to be a release kernel, or the release binaries will not work.)
-.It
-halt:
-.D1 # Ic halt
-.It
-Reboot with an argument of "n", telling the kernel to
-ask what device to use as  root:
-.D1 \*>\*> Ic " boot -f rz(0,X,0)netbsd-1.3 n   # 3100
-.D1 \*>\*> Ic " boot 5/rzX/netbsd-1.3 n         # 5000/200
-.D1 \*>\*> Ic " boot 3/rzX/netbsd-1.3 n         # others
-.(Note
-.No The Ic n
-after the kernel name is a literal
-.Ic n ,
-not the disk unit number or partition. 
-It is an argument telling the kernel to ask for a root device.
-.Note)
-.(Note
-Replace the X with the unit number of your disk:
-.Ic boot 3/rz2/netbsd
-to boot drive 2 on a 5000/xxx.
-.Note)
-.It
-The
-.Ic n
-argument tells the kernel to prompt you for
-the  root device, dump device, and root fileysystem type.
-Enter when the kernel asks for
-.Dl Root device:
-Tell it
-.Ic rz Ar X Ns b ,
-.No where Ar X
-is the same disk unit as in step 6.
-Here's an example, again assuming drive  2 as in step 6:
-.Dl KN03-AA V5.2b    (PC: 0x80051f1c, SP: 0xffffdeb0)
-.Dl \*>\*> boot 3/rz2/netbsd n
-.Dl boot device: rz2
-.Dl root device (default rz2a): Ic rz2b
-.Dl dump device (default rz2b): Ic none
-.Dl file system (default generic): Ic ffs
-.Dl root on rz2b
-.El
-Then, continue from the
-.Sx Once you've booted the diskimage
-step of the Installation instructions.
