make buildworld on a fast machine.  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.
