I have managed to get my Sparc IPC (thanks, David!) to boot 1.5.1 with 4
megs. It took about an hour to boot, and about 20 mins from Username:
root to asking me for a password (by which time it's timed out, of
course). Useless as a NetBSD machine then unless I can get more memory
for it, so I palmed it off to my (ex-)girlfriend for the time being.
