	If you can find someone willing to copy it onto a tape for you :)
	You can get a copy of NetBSD on CDROM
	(http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/cdroms.html), but that will only be 
	up to NetBSD 1.2 (The sun3x port was added after NetBSD 1.2).

	For the sun3x you need a copy of -current - you can download
	the tarfiles from ftp.netbsd.org 
	(/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/) and then to track
	-current (if you so desire) you should download a copy of
	dup (/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/othersrc/sup/) and run it
	whenever you want to update to the most recent source.

	Certainly you should be able to compile up a sun3x kernel from
	a -current sun3 system.
