are you sure about that? I checkt a few mirrors from the list of
NetBSD mirrors e.g.:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200509210000Z/i386/binary/sets/
but there is no misc.tgz.

There are some mirrors which seem to have one e.g.:
ftp://ftp.de.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200509210000Z/shared/ALL/
but if you use ls -l you only see a sym-link:
misc.tgz -> ../../../shared/ALL/misc.tgz
but .../shared/All is an empty directory.

That leads me to the question: Does NetBSD 3 include a package named
misc.tgz or is there only an old entry on the floppies?
