: Any pointer to the sources for 386bsd available?

Well I started with the BNR Net/2 release, made a few patches to
config, a few patches to the kernel and ended up with a running
version.  The remaining problems have to do with the fact that the
vm system in 386bsd is different than what vmstat expects.  This
causes most of the values to be returned as 0.  I handed my work
off to someone else and have not heard from them :-(.  I guess I'll have
to finish it.

Look for it in about 90 days, in the mean time try getting vstat, it
should be on ref.tfs.com someplace.
