There is work going in SparcStation 20 for NetBSD-SMP. Check out the 
tech-smp list. The last
that I read it is that NetBSD crashes when the second CPU begins to 
execute code. This was at March of 2001.

    As other readers said Solaris 8 y Solaris beta 9 are free for your 
machine if you download it
from www.sun.com. If  you don't download it, you will have to pay the 
shipment.

Greetings.
