Yes, it's possible. There is also a howto [1] about it, but it's only
in German.
Create a tar archive of /lib on a Solaris 8 machine::
tar cvf lib.tar /lib
Create this directory structure on your NetBSD/sparc system:
/emul/svr4/dev
/emul/svr4/etc
/emul/svr4/usr
/emul/svr4/usr/bin
/emul/svr4/usr/lib
Extract the tar archive to /emul/svr4/usr/lib
cd to /usr/share/examples/emul/svr4/etc. Copy netconfig,
nsswitch.conf and netconfig to /emul/svr4/usr/etc. Copy
SVR4_MAKEDEV to /emul/svr4/dev. cd to /emul/svr4/dev and run
SVR4_MAKEDEV.
The Seti Client for Solaris should work now. There is more
information in the compat_svr4 manpage.
Regards, Ihsan...
