Very maybe. :-)  The sparc and sun3 ports use very similar a.out
formats; it might Just Work.  I'd say it's much likelier to work to
take the sun3 installboot and build it on the SPARC (you may have to
use a sun3 include tree).

Yeah, that'd be a bit of a pain.

Suggestion: set up everything except doing the installboot run
(including writing ufsboot to the disk).  Then use the SPARC
installboot to install SPARC bootblocks, but use -v, and record the
block numbers it gives.  Then hand-patch those into the sun3 bootblocks
and write them to the disk with dd.

Caveat: this ought to work, but I've never tried actually doing it.

Alternative suggestion: if you have a zip drive available, I can give
you a dd image of a bootable sun3 zip disk.
