FWIW, I used NetBSD 1.6{X} for some time, at least
the better part of a year, on an MP-780. {X} was
at various times .1, .2 and any of XYZ* (-current
of the time). At least, that's my recollection.

I was using some pmap patches (I think) that someone
had posted to the list. I believe these were incorporated
into -current. That, or other patches superseded them.
Only problems I had were in finding a working ethernet card.
I never saw the "TLB out of universe" msg.
I'm not using it now, mostly b/c I want to run 2.0 on
it and I don't have any 'net hardware that it likes.
