Add, not replace.

Is it not possible to compile ssh on OSF/1 3.2?

This is a Good Idea. You should save old hardware _and_ old software.

I doubt that OSF/1 can write a NetBSD compatible FFS. 
Simply dd cdhdtape to the raw NetBSD target disk and boot from it. The
image runs from a MFS, so you can install via FTP, NFS, ... on the disk
that you booted from. This is exactly the way I got NetBSD on my PC164.
(Yes it runns. I finally got a oscillator from a network card and a
modified Athlon heat sink...)
