I certainly don't want to encourage anyone to abandon NetBSD but ....

There's some useful stuff here for people wanting to run old SunOS 
binaries under NetBSD too.

The emulation code in NetBSD/sparc is awsome.  My employer has a 
situation with Sparc systems where we have some application code that 
only runs under Solaris and some that only runs under SunOS.  I recently 
scanvenged an old Sparc-10, installed NetBSD-1.4.2 and set up both 
emulation paths.  We're now running all of our tools on one platform 
thanks to NetBSD. The effort has been so successful we're looking at 
switching everything over to NetBSD.
