The miniroot holds libc.so.12.20. Look at
  $srcdir/distrib/sun3/common/mini_bin.list
  $srcdir/distrib/sun3/common/mini_usr.list
Another problem is, that the install script uses pax, which is
not included in MINIROOT. Next, if you fix this, ramdisk and
miniroot filesystems run out of space.
I'm running NetBSD-1.4 on Sun3/60 without any problems. After
applying the fixes above and recompiling RAMDISK and MINIROOT
even the installation ran fine.

Here are my diffs:
