Greetings--

A friend and I have acquired an old Sun 4/260 which we want to turn into
as much of a NebBSD/Athena machine as possible.  At this point we've got
NetBSD 1.1 installed; it boots and runs.  We have the sun4 binary emulation
working (mostly ... I think).  We could use some pointers as to where
to go next wrt getting the Athena environment stuff.  Also, we're a little
concerned that running afs may hose this machine mercilessly (16.7MHz
Sparc -- this is, as I understand it, the first sparc architecture machine).
How much should we be concerned about that?

Any help & pointers whatsoever greatly appreciated.
