Hi Folks,
I'm aware that there's a working port of netbsd for Sun-3 (3/60, 3/160,
etc.) machines around, and that people are (or were) working on getting
netbsd going on Sun-3x (3/80 and 3/480) machines as well.
Recently someone told me that it's possible to obtain the current release
version of netbsd for Sun-3's in bootable tape format, much like the
standard QIC-24 format boot tapes that SunOS for Sun-3's was supplied on.
Is this true, and if so, can someone provide information about how I go
about obtaining such a tape? I'd like to throw SunOS off my 3/60 and
replace it with netbsd.
Thanks in advance,
Craig.
