Hi folks.  I'm new to port-sparc64, but have been a NetBSD user since 
the 0.9 days.

   I just installed 1.6 onto an Ultra1/170 from the new ISO.  It went 
flawlessly and took all of ten minutes, and is running happily on my 
desk now.  NetBSD/sparc64 has come a very, very long way from when I 
first tried it and gave up in frustration some 2.5 years ago.  Now it's 
smooth, sleek, and fast...so I had to send a note to say THANKS FOLKS!  
Please keep up the great work.

   If this machine is stable and I have no problems getting my stuff 
built, I'll be replacing a few reliable-but-aging web servers (SS20s 
running NetBSD, which are happily humming away hosting dozens of 
virtual-hosted web sites) with a couple of Ultra1 and Ultra30 machines 
running NetBSD/sparc64.

   Thanks again for all the great work! :-)

       -Dave
