Right. The sun3 port was not far enough along for a full release
when 1.0 was prepared. You can get the latest binaries via:
ftp ftp.netbsd.org (anonymous)
cd /pub/NetBSD/arch/sun3
binary
get README
get doc.sun3.tar.gz
You may want to read the doc files and come back for the rest.

I just updated netbsd-gen.gz so it supports the VME machines.

There are notes on compilation in the doc files mentioned above.

With good humor!
