Just fired it up.  The reason I put it aside was that the ie driver was set
to hard panic every time it received a packet larger than 1500 bytes, and
the workaround appeared straightforward but as someone from a BSD
background it was not at all clear to me how to rebuild a kernel.  I have
some time now that I can set aside to teach myself how that build system
works, so I'm planning to revisit it soon.

Anyhow.... it does not appear to have any manpages.  My recollection is
that the distribution was just source, and the manpages were not a part of
that source.  It required a bootstrap from SunOS to get a working system; I
don't think I have anything that is not in the TUHS archives.
