The rumours you heard were true, but I certainly hope they weren't ugly.

Right now you have two choices in your selection of NetBSD/sun3x.  If you
are looking for quick setup time without having to compile anything, I
suggest you try the ``unofficial'' NetBSD/sun3x being ported by Tsubai
Manasari et. al.  They have done a nice job of providing pre-compiled
kernels and sources based on NetBSD-current.  See:

http://elilin.hss.titech.ac.jp/NetBSD/en/sun3x.html
or the japanese version:
http://elilin.hss.titech.ac.jp/NetBSD/

If you are looking for the ``officially'' supported version.  You will
have to download the kernel sources from NetBSD-current and compile them.
Instructions for doing so are in the newly created sun3x section of
www.netbsd.org:

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sun3x/

Hopefully this situation will change very shortly, and you will be able to
download reasonably current pre-compiled versions from the NetBSD ftp
site.  I am working on this as we speak.
