install/41849: install from old cd

If you use an old netbsd CD because you have no money to buy a new one and no
cd burner and no money to buy a cd burner, then ftp fails because the new
directory does not have kern.tgz but kern-GENERIC.tgz and kern-GENERIC.MP.tgz.
In addition, of course, it behooves one to change the ftp directory to
NetBSD-5.0.1 instead of NetBSD-1.5 or whatever.
It would be nice if a very small blurb was added about this somewhere in some
docs. Like "Installing from a pre-version-X CD".
I think there also might be a couple other missing sets, but I don't recall and
so I'll find out shortly, and so this is another reason why there should be a
small docs paragraph about this.
