I've got 2 SparcStation-2's... One, with 32MB of RAM and 400MB HD, with
NetBSD 1.6, I'm using as DNS, NTP, and DHCP server; The other, with
64MB RAM and 4GB HD, and NetBSD 1.6.2, I'm using as my backup mail
server. They're nice reliable machines, but I had to replace the NVRAM
chips on them, and for some reason they won't boot-up automatically
at power-up, I have to manually issue the "boot" command. I've checked
that I don't have diag-switch? turned on. But now that I have them on
UPS, it should be less of an issue.
