One is currently running NetBSD 5.1 and is my ntp server with GPS receiver.

Have you tried netboot or the tape boot option?On topic.. you might consider a prom update. Pretty simple 29/27 series chips afair.
Additionally, there's some good scsi<->cf adapters also if you're having trouble findign disks under the 2/8gb barrier.
IIRC the disk doesn't have to be within that barrier, just the portion the boot loader needs to access ( via OBP calls ) - in other words, the partition containing the kernel.
