Here is part of my old installation / Upgrade guide I did many years ago that should be useful to you.
1.44 Meg Floppy disk upgrade method to V03.00
The information listed below has been taken from one of the upgrades that I did, Using the standard 1.44 Meg Floppy disk.
Before you start the upgrade, You must first obtain the Succession Keycode.kcd file. This can be obtained from the Nortel Web Site, Keycode section, Or via the Meridian Order Group / Option 11 Configuration Centre.
Load in the software from new, using normal procedures with the install disk.
Insert the correct V03.00 Installation floppy disk in first, before you reboot for the type of Succession system that you have the keycodes for!
The different versions of install disks are listed below.
This software does not support TNs configured on PE/EPE
shelves. Upgrading to this software release will permanently
disable all TNs configured on PE/EPE and will not allow new
TNs to be configured.
Proceed with the upgrade? (Y/N) Y

Let the Meridian load in all the files & wait until the next menu appears.
Once this has been completed, Then remove the Floppy disk & insert a new one labeled as Succession copy!.
An upgrade from machine type 30(CP_NET) to 29(CP_NET) has been detected.
The Hardware Infrastructure (HI) data base from the restored
system is not applicable. It will be erased and the current one
will be used.
This appears because the software at V25.40b is now changing from a Option 81c, to a 61c for the keycodes listed at the Succession release!
Please press <CR> when ready ...
