I've got a whole pile of old SPARCs (if somebody round here wants one,
let me know).  I'm currently running OpenBSD on a SPARCstation 5 as
part of the Samba build farm (http://build.samba.org/, system flame).

I have a SPARCstation 20 with 96 MB of memory on which I intend to do
something similar for NetBSD.  I installed a relatively recent NetBDS
ISO (forget which one) and then tried to upgrade to 1.6.2.  It doesn't
finish booting:

  Booting netbsd
  3129244+98076+329904 [196000Illegal Instruction

I've been told that this is because of changes in the boot blocks;
before I go to more trouble than I really want to, can anybody
confirm?
