If it is some help, here is what OpenBoot displays:

Probing CPU FMI,MB86907
512 KB Secondary Cache Present
IOCLK Setting = CPUCLK/2
SBUSCLK Setting = CPUCLK/8
Running in TurboSPARC Native Mode
{probing sbus cards, many lines, important information ahead}
ROM Rev, 2.15
putting patch to put cpu in  uSII mode
Snoop and IC-Snoop turned On

And this is where NetBSD boots ... and shows no information whatsoever
about the cache. If someone can help then please tell how to see if
this cache is used and not displayed or not used. If it is not used
then a large part of the CPU upgrade is not used at all.
