   Anyone running on 4/100, 4/200, 4/300, or 4/400 machines out there?  I'm
   thinking of cleaning up the autoconfiguration code for those models .. we
   currently use indirect config on them, even though we know exactly where
   all the devices are, how many of them, and at what interrupt priority level,
   on each model.

   This is motivated by the fact that in my spare time (HA!) I am trying to
   get Sun4d working (I can talk to some devices now!), but the Sun4 autoconfig
   stuff is complicating things significantly.

I have a 4/110 that can netboot or disk boot, probably.  NetBSD has not
been able to run on it for quite a while, however.... since the 1.3 days,
if I remember correctly.  Problems with the sw driver and/or VME buss
and/or the ie driver were all trouble the last time I tried a recent
kernel.  I filed some PRs about some of this a while back.
