(0) If your ss20 is an SMP system, rip out all cpus but one, or stick with
netbsd-4, since netbsd-5 smp does not work on sparc.

On netbsd-5 can you just use GENERIC rather than GENERIC.MP and run
reliably on one proc on an SMP box?

Actually I made a little error - the system is running an even older 1.5.2 release. 8-) It's single-CPU though - running 1 x SS71 processor.

Disk is a 1.6" 146 GB drive which gets quite hot so that'll go soon.
