Someone was mentioning problems with the new NetBSD 1.4 miniroot and I 
happened to be looking through the NetBSD sun3 port mailing list archive
and
I chanced upon the following message.  Hope it helps.

There is new snapshot of the miniroot and new kernels here:
  ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sun3/snapshot/19990518
Use the files in the above as replacements for what's in
the 1.4 release.  (Take binary/sets from the release.)

I've tested the netbsd-ramdisk* kernels and miniroot
installation on these: Sun3/60, Sun3/80, Sun3/260

Enjoy!
