Here is where the link went dead in the first place:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/distrib/notes/sparc64/install.diff?r1=1.1&r2=1.2


The link is removed, shortly after the release of 1.6.2:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/distrib/notes/sparc64/install?rev=1.17&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup


IMHO the choices are to wait until NetBSD 2.0 is released, or remove the
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6.2/sparc64/INSTALL.html link
from htdocs/Ports/sparc64/index.html.


Cheers,
