I've used this script a couple times now, for updating to 2.0.3 and to 2.1 on two separate machines.  a few friends of mine have tested it to, so I've worked out a couple of bugs (OBJ_DIR not getting defined, not working in tcsh, etc.) and think I have it pretty much perfect now.

here's a short overview of what it does:

1. checks for /usr/src, /usr/tools, and /usr/obj
2. if they're not found, it asks for alternative paths, or if you want to do an initial checkout of the source tree
3. asks if you want to do a source tree, kernel, or userland update
4. tells you to reboot after whichever you choose

hope this helps some people .

the NetBSD updating docs are pretty out of date (I might help update them) and it's hard to remember all the commands to run every time you want to do an update.
