Well, I had a 120 disk that the source tree no longer fits on ... just a
bit too big. Add objects for 2 ports.
/dev/sd1f 696276 460634 200828 70% /work/netbsd
Source + hp300, sun3, sparc objects.

Yah, but there are a couple of programs which don't quite work properly
between the two - disklabel, for one (mac has a different MAXPARTITIONS),
eeprom(8) and screenblank(1) (Sun-specific), and anything that uses
libkvm (the sun3 and mac have much different modules for libkvm, though
I'd like to see the Sun 3 kvm stuff merged with the other m68k, but it
would require a coupld of trivial changes to the sun3 kernel)
