	Even better - 1.3BETA is just slightly closer to the full 1.3

	The installation will vary a little, but once installed they
	are the same OS (the beauty of NetBSD :).One thing to watch is
	that if you repartition a disk, be sure to only use whole
	cylinders in each partition (for compatability with the SunOS
	disklabel needed by the boot prom).

	Ideally you should use 1.3BETA binaries, though 1.3ALPHA will
	work fine, and 1.2G & earlier versions will pretty much work...
	(I'd try to got for 1.ALPHA or later).
