Looking at the Internet Archive's copy of
2bsd.com led me to
<ftp://ftp.wx.gd-ais.com/pub/2.11BSD>, which indeed has patch 448 in it,
That's not an official patch. It's a collection of improvements by
Johnny Billquist. I'm running with a couple of them on my 2.11BSD
installations, but disagree with a couple of the others (I don't want
the automatic boot, and I do console byte length and parity slightly
differently) -- and I have a few mods of my own as well, of course.
It's great that Johnny published his changes, but they should really be
stored as six suggested improvements, and not in a way that makes them
look as if they're yet another patch kit from Steven.
