Thanks. At least now I can stop fighting with those svr4 floppies.
Did the svr4/386 sources ever get out in the wild?

I'm trying to find whatever source code there is on those floppies. I've
grepped through the disk images, and I did find some source code in the
clear. However, I suspect I haven't yet found the kernel source (which is
what I'm after.) Disks 13 and 14 have an actual filesystem on them, but
many (all?) of the other disks appear to be laid out as flat arrays of
bytes without much (any?) filesystem information. The fs on disks 13 and
14 doesn't appear to be completely standard sysv, at least according to my
rh8 box.
I suspect that most of the disks are either System V .pkg datastreams
or cpio archives.
Since this is obviously an installable binary distribution the only
"source code" that you are going to find on it are the header files
in /usr/include and /usr/include/sys etc and, perhaps, a few example
or demo programs.
Don't bother looking for kernel source code - it isn't there.
