And if anyone else cares after that, here is the FreeBSD 1.0 Release
kernel from freefall.cdrom.com, the main FreeBSD development machine:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root       490210 Oct 25 14:50 /386bsd*

text    data    bss     dec     hex
417792  16384   153568  587744  8f7e0

Of course, this includes IP networking, but not CCITT, ISO, RMP, or
NS, or any of the more fancy devices.  We're working on reducing the
size of the BSS so that we can add useful text and data but still fit
our kernel in 640K, until the VM system gets fixed...
