   I though that I saved the posting with the site's name, but it's gone.
   So..where can I find a patched kernel with the Xfree extensions
   installed? 

Item 5 of README.386BSD in the XFree86 distribution on
agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2 covers this:

The easiest way to get an up-to-date kernel binry is to ftp it from
agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/patch-kit.
386bsd.nostrip.X supports X and uses the pccons console driver.

We also supply kernel binaries that have all of patchkit-0.2, XFree86
support and Julian's scsi drivers.  There are two versions on
agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2:

kernel-1.2.pccons.tar.Z - uses the stock pccons console driver
kernel-1.2.codrv.tar.Z - uses Holger Veit's enhanced console driver

Note that Nate's kernel (386bsd.nostrip.X) uses patchkit 0.2.1 and has
more patches.  Rich
