You are supposed to boot the kickstart off floppy, use the A3000 Install
disk and click on some icon or another.  I dug around the A3000 Install
disk to find a script that does:

	Makefiles df0: 2.0 WB_2.x:Devs/kickstart

and executed this from a cli.  I also noticed that in SYS:Tools
there is the same script "update2.x" along with "Makefiles".

Now, i am not technically knowledgable in the underlyings of amigados
but you *should* be able to do the following....

	cd SYS:Devs
	rename kickstart kickstart.36.141	; or appropriate #
	sys:tools/update2.x

The "rename" is only important in the event somehow kickstart is still "open"
by the system (you don't want to trash it if it is)

Again, i had still booted on floppy kickstart/a3000 install when i updated
so you're on your own, but i'd be willing to give it a try.
(I just don't like to execute "icons" and scripts without knowing what they do)
