Hi all

Thanks for responding to my question.  

The sparc 5 box I am talking about is a SPARCstation 5. ('sun4m
sparc SUNW, SPARCstation-5' under Solaris), not an Ultra 5.

I was told by a fellow student who tried installing NetBSD on SS5
and SS10 a year ago.  He said SS10 was ok after some bug-fixing,
but SS5 had more serious problem.  As Erik said, this should be of
no problem in current.

For Ultra boxes, only an experimental port exists now.  (Thanks to
Eduardo)
