No idea about what it might take to run NetBSD. But given
that it was broken, how do you know that it is now fixed?
Have you managed to boot *anything* else on the 8600
(like OpenVMS or Ultrix)?

I've scanned a set of 8600 H/W docs but I don't recall
whether they are on the net anywhere. If you think they
might be useful, I'll go make enquiries (unless someone
pipes up in here first).
