You can unpack new sets on top of old sets. There's daily builds on: https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily You can cd /; tar xzpf /path/to/set.tgz It will leave a small amount of things behind, postinstall can collect them, as long as you keep upgrading. It isn't safe to run postinstall on a downgrade. For RPI, your kernel is on another partition and not /netbsd, so it's a bit more involved, but I think you can mount it with mount -t msdos and replace it.
