  You might try copying a 4.0 or 5.0 kernel onto your 3.99 root and boot 
that kernel.  If that does boot, then out can put the installation kernel
(alpha/installation/instkernel/netbsd.gz) and boot from that kernel.  That
would give you an installation kernel same as you would get booting from 
the CD.  If that boots, you should be able to install from the sets on the 
CD.
