Actually, try cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu:/pub/NetBSD_Mac. The sun-lamp
mirror will be updated with 1.0.

Currently just the older ones, but we're working on it. The basic
list is, II, IIx, IIcx, SE/30. The IIci and IIsi and IIvx work to
some degree--the IIci might even go into the first list. The '040
designs use a completely different SCSI controller, and I'm working
on that port as soon as NetBSD 1.0 gets out.

You should be able to squeeze into about 40MB, but that doesn't leave
you much space to do anything. 8MB is fine, more is better, and 4-5MB
might work--haven't tried it recently...
