Thanks for all the feedback!

Just checked out
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200612050000Z/sparc64 and
it's empty?

Also, the screen is defo 66 colums wide and 27 high, which is a little
weird, the system has openboot 3.31. I have a massive 17" crt sitting in the
next room i could lug through to try if that would help?

Cheers,

kyu
