Also keep in mind that NetBSD started as a set of "net" (as in usenet)
patch kits for 386BSD.

Sorry, I was wrong. That particular article was number 16 of the 18
part series, as shown at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/386BSD#Further_reading. It does raise
the question why the Dr Dobb's search engine didn't find any of them.
Out of curiosity, did the articles contain download information for a
bootable copy of 386BSD?
