I found it via archie (sigh...); I'll e-mail you a copy seperately.
I spent an awful lot of time trying to get a 3/60 to netboot
properly, and I've meant to send flames over here, but I've been a bit
busy.
Various problem I had included:
Getting it to NFS mount the swap. This required hacking the netbsd
mountd to accept the mount requests...
Trying to get the serial console to work properly. I had to munge
around w/ files in /dev for a while.
There were some other notable things (perhaps I was just being stupid),
but I cannot remember them all right now...
