Well, if you included as little information in your original post, I
wouldn't be surprised.  Regardless...

You can get souce and binaries for NetBSD from ftp.iastate.edu.
NetBSD currently runs on Intel-based PC's, 68k Macs, Amigas, Sun 3 and
Sun 4 architectures, HP 300, certain MIPS-based DECstations, and
PC532.  It is meant for workstations, PC's and other microcomputers.

Are you running one of these?  Otherwise, you could try getting a copy
of 4.4BSD-lite from CSRG, but that is not a complete system.
