I've had NetBSD running on a 5000/240 since way back.  In fact, at one
stage I was about to find out if "uptime" switched to displaying "1
year, ..." when rolling over from 365 days, but someone decided our
server room needed a physical rearrangement about a fortnight shy of the
rollover date[*]... :-(

FWIW, the 5000/240 is:

NetBSD 1.4U (WENDOLENE) #0: Fri Mar 10 18:43:18 EST 2000
DECstation 5000/240 (3MAXPLUS)
total memory = 24576 KB
cpu0 at mainbus0: MIPS R3000 CPU Rev. 3.0 with MIPS R3010 FPC Rev. 4.0

10:14PM  up 200 days, 10:17, 1 user, load averages: 0.06, 0.10, 0.08

Cheers,

Paul.

[*] Of course, curiosity got the better of me, so I looked at the source
code and found out that it doesn't.  Days are the highest unit of
uptime.
