I think -- with the possible exception of the 725 or 730 if anyone ever
made them work, they were very hard to get going even with 4.3! -- the
Sun 2/50 is likely the slowest machine that ever ran NetBSD.  I don't think
we support any 68010-based HP300 models, though I am not entirely sure.

Was the Australian machine kre mentioned one of those bizarre dual-68000
designs that ran two CPUs in lockstep to handle non-restartable
instructions?  I've heard about them but never seen one.
