I do that at home, using the M76 box.  Finally it finished in 2:30.
Yikes, slow.... but, Bonnie is now up, and bytebench is compiling.
So anything useful anyone wants to do on the critter, have at it.
152.1.230.21/netbsd/test15 (no su privs yet).  The goal is to see
what might be done to optimize the slow VAXentoys.  The current
kernel is a mostly stripped VS3100 only thing.  When I go home,
tonight, I will start it compiling lmbench (which calls up perl5)
and see if it is done by in the morning.
