Your very first stop, I would suggest should be
http://www.ids.org.au/main/tutorials/vi_tutorial.php ........
regardless of which BSD you use.
Next Stop which will definately work is
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sparc/ oh looky on the right side of the

I personally have had 2x SS20 which I ran Netbsd on, with almost no
problems whatsoever.
