We'll see what happens.  I just burned a CD with the contents of the
   ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/sparc64 directory.  I'll try the
   Aug 14 snapshot first (20000814) but based on the above info, I may
   have a useless CD-R.  Too bad my CDROM at home can't read CD-RW
   .......


FWIW, my U1 and U5 both run that snapshot just fine.  the port was
originally done on a U1 starting in 1996 or so...
