I've an opposite setup, where I'm running a diskless NetBSD-1.1A machine
mounted on a SunOS-4.1.1_U1 server (sun3s, both).

I see similar problems.  Sometimes the X server on the NetBSD box starts
to lose fonts, other times it'll be the shared libraries that start
showing corruption and most everything dies.  A reboot normally fixes
things, except for the odd time when the MMU gets stuck in some bad
state and I have to do a low-level reset (PROM "k2" command or a power
cycle).
