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,
