The default executable format for NetBSD-0.8, as ->released<-, was the 386BSD a.out format. The "network byte order" a.out format hit NetBSD-0.8-current about a week or two after the official release, I think, so anyone who was keeping up with NetBSD-current probably strongly associates the byteswapped format with 0.8.
