NetBSD-1.1 does not support the Sun4m in any shape or form. What you might want to do is grab the prerelease NetBSD-1.2-beta snapshot (which is pretty close to release-level code) and install that. It should be trivial to upgrade from 1.2-beta to 1.2-release or -current from that point. --Aaron (see ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc/install.beta/)
