That doesn't work.
Do you have the hfs program installed?
if yes:
Boot NetBSD
execute hfs
copy the new kernel to /netbsd
chmod 755 /netbsd
if no:
1.st possibility
Go to a Unix-Box with the new kernel
chmod 755 netbsd.scsi
tar it and gzip it (tar -cf netbsd.tar netbsd.scsi; gzip netbsd.tar)
install it with the installer
2.nd possibility
start the installer
get into the minishell
cpin netbsd.scsi netbsd
(watch out: netbsd.scsi has to be in the same
folder as the installer).
sync
quit
Have fun,
