Yes.  However the NOTES has a typo (already in the process of being
fixed), the boot command should be:
	boot -f rz(0,X,0)netbsd-1.3 n

Yes.  You can also mount Ultrix partitions readonly under NetBSD, and
you can also use the Ultrix swap partition as additional swap space
under NetBSD.  I've been running my 5000 this way since I set it up
early in 1997.
