know if this is interesting to anyone, but I thought I'd share that
386BSD will install on Bochs (although slowly, and it's prone to crashing),
however once the first patchkit is installed, it'll then run on Qemu!
(0.11.0, it seems the new bios layout of 0.12 is incompatible)
Yes, I think it is very interesting to see what BSD was like on an x86
around the time of the forks into Net- and FreeBSD. You can feel the
itch to roll your own xBSD when messing around with it.
It got me curious about where 386BSD ended though. Did anyone save
the 386BSD Reference CD-ROM Release 1.0 from /dev/null?
Yes, I have a copy. It was pretty much useless. All the
documentation was in some Microsoft format, and I couldn't read it.
Unfortunately Dr Dobbs has a copyright on it, or I could upload it for
the curious.
