I have been playing around a bit with this in VirtualBox.

Maybe due to the backing company, I had assumed it was a commercial FreeBSD variant. But looking a bit harder, it seems like it was a distinct strain of 386bsd like NetBSD and FreeBSD. There seems to be scant information about it online. Does anyone know if its story is told somewhere?

Wasn't this from BSDi? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD/OS It wasn't a commercial version of 386bsd, per se, but based on a porting to the PC work Jolitz had done prior to 386BSD. They shared a common (very recent) ancestor. And there was much drama around it all.

Or is this something else?
