At one point, I had a copy of a bootable exabyte tape

was that the reference hardware at Berkeley was 68030- and 68040-based
HP 9000 machines,
Which models exactly?
and the SPARC bits were a contribution from Chris
Torek. I got -Lite running on an older SPARCstation 1, but it wasn't
particularly reliable (the compiler would segfault, and it panic'ed once
a day or so), so we put SunOS back on it pretty quickly.
Hope that helps.
