Well, I sucked up my courage, and attempted using sysinst to update my
Centris 610 (full 040) from NetBSD 1.4 to NetBSD 1.5.
I got a copy of the newest version of the booter, and put a copy of the
INSTALL kernel and put it in there with it, and fired it up.
The kernel booted, and I got through all the normal startup stuff, but
instead of getting a sysinst menu, I got a root prompt:
# term [vt200?] (or something thereabouts),
and that was it. The keyboard was dead, and wouldn't take any input. I
tried twice with the same result. I know I booted the correct kernel
because at the start of boot messages said "INSTALL" and "1.5"
I guess it wasn't meant to be for me on this time around.
