Forgive me if I'm a little bit off on some of this.  I get freebsd and
netbsd confused sometimes...

in /usr/share/examples/sup (I think it's sup) you'll find a file
"sup.netbsd.org".  To get all of the current source for the system
(including the kernel)  execute a command in that directory that looks
something like

sup -f sup.netbsd.org  

(read the sup manpage and monkey with it a bit. Again, I don't have the
netbsd sparcbook sitting in front of me right now)

When (if) that finnishes, you should find a file TADPOLE3GX in
/usr/src/sys/<something>.  In the directory where you find that file,
execute 

config TADPOLE3GX

and then it should spit out some messages about what to do next.

Could someone a little more current on netbsd-sparc correct the steps in
this message as neccesary and resend it?

Hope this helps
