Doing an upgrade running bsd.rd loaded from a disk is pretty much the
same as loading bsd.rd from cd. It's actually the same file, so do
what is most convenient for you.
The cd has alls the sets, in some cases it is faster than using net.
In other cases using the net is faster or more convenient. Decide for
yourself.
untarring the sets and copying the kernel by hand is not recommended.
