Then NFS mount the /usr/src and /usr/obj trees and do a make installworld on the 133 box. Also my 486 Dx2-66 did make world in about 12 hours, and I likely could have dropped that down into the 8 hour range with the addition of more disks, better mount point options, etc. I suspect that 2-3 days is a little pessimistic, unless the machine has little memory.
