An SS2 with 128 megs is slower than 64 megs, since the memory card is sending
data over the sbus.

Time is not the problem. Any of my SS2 or IPX boxes will build NetBSD in
about 6 days. My only question is whether 1 gig is enough space to
build 2.0 on a sun4c.

A sun3 will build 1.6 in a little over 8 days.
