Actually NetBSD is already installed, I guess that the easier way
is to find a way to burn the sourcecd.iso image. Then we can compile the
kernel on the machine. Another possibility is to use a null modem cable to
connect that sun to another machine with PPP and then download the source
sets. :-)
Thank you and everyone for the informations!
