I have not used netbsd on the u10. if its single ultra I or ultra II it 
should work.

HD changes on the SUN are EASY, they tend toward SCA and other decent 
connectors that make upgrades painless.

the netbsd installer works on (?almost) any firmware supported cdrom drive 
on the sun. (Apple internal cdrom 150,300 are known to be problematic.)

Some people are born mediocre, some people achieve mediocrity, and some
people have mediocrity thrust upon them.
