They often bought equipment at auctions. This system came from a large pharmaceutical company with the drive still intact. I used the OS on it for several months. It was an old Sun SparcStation IPC (or ipx?). It only had a floppy drive and netbsd was installable with boot floppies and ftp. The system died on me about 2 years ago and I just bought a newer system on ebay. It was quite easy to change the root password. In sun os you just booted to single user. With solaris you can do it with a netbsd floppy :) Luke
