+====== NetBSD upgrade procedure (aka NUP) ======
+===== Simplified procedure =====
+  - Get binary sets
+  - Unpack Kernel
+  - Reboot
+  - Binary sets
+  - Postinstall check
+  - Postinstall fix
+  - Reboot
+  - Upgrade packages as needed.
+===== Extended procedure =====
+I take it that you have /path/to/sets set to /INSTALL
+  * If not set already, set -o braceexpand
+  * Fetch binary sets from a [[http://www.netbsd.org/mirrors/|NetBSD Mirror]]. I use the DK mirror.
+  * ''echo "mget *gz" | ftp -Va ftp://ftp.dk.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.1.2/i386/binary/sets''
+  * Unpack modules
+  * ''progress -z -f /INSTALL/modules.tgz pax -rpe''
+  * Unpack Kernel
+  * ''progress -z -f /INSTALL/kern-GENERIC.tgz pax -rpe''
+  * Reboot server to let new kernel take effect, remember to set braceexpand if you haven't stuffed it in a login script already.
+  * Unpack base, comp, games, man, misc, tests and text binary sets.
+  * ''for file in INSTALL/{b,c,g,ma,mi,t,x}*tgz ; do progress -zf $file pax -rpe ; done''
+  * Check etc.tgz via postinstall
+  * ''postinstall -s /INSTALL/etc.tgz check''
+  * And then fix via postinstall
+  * ''postinstall -s /INSTALL/etc.tgz fix''
+  * reboot
+  * ... Enjoy new and upgraded server..
