Erm - to the best of my knowledge, the netbsd-2 etcupdate(8) does not deal
with etc.tgz directly.

You have to extract etc.tgz to some safe place (e.g. mkdir /tmp/newetc ; cd
/tmp/newetc ; pax -pe -zrf /path/to/etc.tgz) and then point etcupdate(8) to
the files you just unpacked:
etcupdate -a -l -v -b /tmp/newetc
and off you go.
Properly applied, the etcupdate and postinstall combo is the best thing
since sliced bread.
HTH,
