Ok, the mouse works fine on a 3100 running Ultrix 4.4.  I changed the
DELAY to DELAY(150), and now the square mouse works ok on the NetBSD
3100 as well.

How can you not possibly run ntp? (half a smiley :)  ntpdate spits it's
time change info to the console - it might be worth trying a copy of
ntpdate without the console output then.

Yes, but that's damn hard to type with one hand!  My fingers are used to
<ctrl>-3 - it works on just about every DEC-style keyboard around...

FWIW, here's timings for the 3100 building a GENERIC kernel (everything
on a local RZ25).  Nowhere near as bad as I expected, but I'll be using
the /260's for this in the future :-)
