+The sparc-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.0 release is found in the
+"sparc" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
+out as follows:
+
+.../NetBSD-1.0/sparc/
+			binary/		sparc binary distribution sets;
+					see below.
+
+			security/	sparc security distribution;
+					see below;
+
+			install/	Base GENERIC kernels, tools,
+					and installation script.
+
+The NetBSD/sparc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
+comprise the NetBSD 1.0 release for the sparc.  There are seven binary
+distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
+distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "sparc/binary"
+subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution tree, and are as follows:
+
+	base10	The NetBSD/sparc 1.0 base binary distribution.  You
+		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
+		base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
+		system to run and be minimally functional.  It
+		includes shared library support, and excludes
+		everything described below.
+		[ 7.3M gzipped, 22.7M uncompressed ]
+
+	comp10	The NetBSD/sparc Compiler tools.  All of the tools
+		relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!).
+		This set includes the system include files
+		(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
+		and the various system libraries (except the shared
+		libraries, which are included as part of the base
+		set).  This set also includes the manual pages for all
+		of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
+		call and library manual pages.
+		[ 4.9M gzipped, 15.9M uncompressed ]
+
+	etc10	This distribution set contains the system
+		configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
+		other places.  This set MUST be installed if you are
+		installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
+		used if you are upgrading.  (If you are upgrading,
+		it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
+		CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
+		[ 50K gzipped, 285K uncompressed ]
+
+	games10	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
+		[ 1.2M gzipped, 3.3M uncompressed ]
+
+	man10	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
+		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
+		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
+		that are included in the other sets.
+		[ 0.7M gzipped, 2.9M uncompressed ]
+
+	misc10	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
+		rather large), the typesettable document set, and
+		man pages for other architectures which happen to be
+		installed from the source tree by default.
+		[ 1.7M gzipped, 5.9M uncompressed ]
+
+	text10	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
+		including groff, all related programs, and their
+		manual pages.
+		[ 0.8M gzipped, 3.1M uncompressed ]
+
+The sparc security distribution set is named "secr10" and can be found
+in the "sparc/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution
+tree.  It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
+algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it.  It can only be found
+on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
+can legally obtain it.  (Remember, because of United States law, this
+distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the
+United States and Canada.)  [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ]
+
+The sparc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
+the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
+form a gzipped tar file.  Each sparc binary distribution set also has
+its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do.  The
+binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the
+binaries "into" your system, i.e.  replace the system binaries with
+them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /.  Also note that if you
+upgrade or install this way, those programs that you are using at the
+time will NOT be replaced.  If you follow the normal installation or
+upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for you.
+
+The "sparc/install" directory contains an install script, and two
+GENERIC kernels.  As well, the distribution cannot be extracted using
+the SunOS "tar" program so SunOS statically-linked versions of gzip
+(GNU gzip) and gtar (GNU tar) are provided.
