It's an 8600 with 256M ram, 400Mhz Sonnet CPU, ACard 850U PCI IDE controller,
and 17G IDE disk.  i still haven't figured out how to boot from the IDE disk,
so i've been netbooting it and getting root via nfs and mounting /var, /usr
and swap from the local disk.

it certainly would!  it might work out since then i could find something that
will do S-Video/audio out that is supported by NetBSD.  or better yet,
supported by Solaris and then i can get a SunPCI card for it. ;)
