You must upgrade the CPU. Based on messages seen here a few weeks ago 601
support is still in the early stages. My 7500 running NetBSD uses a 604
daughtercard from the original run of 9500 systems. I happened to get my
card for free, but given that we're talking the same era of system I bet you
could find an old 9500 daughtercard real cheap.
