The sun3/60 is a motorolla 68020 based machine, rather than the
later (and current) sparc machines. (The last version of sunos
supported on them sun3 was 4.1.1u1)
I seem to rcall the NetBSD/mac68k people were working on getting
Mozilla running - since all NetBSD m68k platforms are binary
compatible a NetBSD/sun3 should be able to run their binaries
without any trouble...
