Was that a.out still, on sparc, or already elf? In the latter case, you'd have to read the UPDATING and INSTALL information from the 1.6 release, I guess.
It's single-CPU though - running 1 x SS71 processor.
Good, at least here. ;)
Disk is a 1.6" 146 GB drive which gets quite hot so that'll go soon.
The ss20 will take any SCA2 scsi disk, so replacing it shouldn't be a problem.One thing that may hold a nasty surprise: Unpack etc.tgz before anything else, and copy the "pam.d" directory to your /etc. Kernels > netbsd-2 want that directory populated, or there will be no multi-user login.
