I have noticed that wuarchive.wustl.edu has an archive o BSD 4.3-Tahoe-Reno source (kernel and all) and it contains info for i386 and other systems. It would be nice to install a BSD system, on my 386, and as I have some knowledge of how to go about compiling it, there is one simple problem..I have never dealt with installing a boot. It is easy enough to get my SCSI Wren formatted for BSD, but how to instal l an i386 boot? The filesystem I "think" is very different from Sys V, and would require a bit of low level work in getting one made by hand. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should look, or just give it up completely...

Only part of the kernel is there--that which does not contain any AT&T
code. If someone wants to write the rest of a kernel, that would be
very useful, but it's not just a weekend project (I don't know
exactly how big a project).
