+The sun3-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
+"sun3" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
+out as follows:
+
+.../NetBSD-1.1/sun3/
+			INSTALL.txt	Installation notes; this file.
+
+			install/	Boot programs, a GENERIC kernel,
+					a stand-alone RAMDISK kernel,
+					and a miniroot filesystem image.
+					see below.
+
+			binary/		sun3 binary distribution sets;
+					see below.
+
+			security/	sun3 security distribution;
+					see below.
+
+The NetBSD/sun3 "install" distribution contains files that can be
+used to install NetBSD onto a completely "bare" sun3.  The files
+in the `.../install' directory are described below:
+
+	miniroot.gz	A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
+			This image is to be un-gzipped and copied
+			into the swap area of a disk.
+
+	netbsd-rd.gz	A gzipped copy of the "RAMDISK kernel"
+			for installing the miniroot filesystem.
+
+	netbsd-gen.gz	A gzipped GENERIC kernel (for upgrade)
+
+	netboot		A copy of the network boot program.
+			This is useful if you are installing
+			a diskless NetBSD/sun3 system.
+
+	tapeboot	A copy of the tape boot program, used
+			as the first segment of a boot tape.
+
+These files can be used to make a boot tape suitable for installing
+NetBSD/sun3.  These files can also be used to configure an NFS server
+to support installation "over the network".  See the section "Getting
+the NetBSD System onto Useful Media" for instructions on either method.
+
+The NetBSD/sun3 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
+comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the sun3.  There are seven binary
+distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
+distribution sets can be found in the "sun3/binary" subdirectory of
+the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows:
+
+	base11	The NetBSD/sun3 1.1 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.
+		[ 7.2M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]
+
+	comp11	The NetBSD/sun3 Compiler tools.  All of the tools
+		relating to C and C++.  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.
+		[ 4.6M gzipped, 14.7M uncompressed ]
+
+	etc11	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.)
+		[ 64K gzipped, 348K uncompressed ]
+
+	games11	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
+		[ 2.8M gzipped, 6.8M uncompressed ]
+
+	man11	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.
+		[ 850K gzipped, 3.3M uncompressed ]
+
+	misc11	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.
+		[ 1.8M gzipped, 6.5M uncompressed ]
+
+	text11	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
+		including groff, all related programs, and their
+		manual pages.
+		[ 770K gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
+
+The sun3 security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found
+in the "sun3/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution
+tree.  It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
+if the NetBSD source tree.  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.)
+[ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ]
+
+The sun3 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
+Each sun3 binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
+as the source distribution sets do.
+
+The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
+well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
+method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  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 xvfp"
+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.
