The article is not clear that 386/BSD refers to Bill Jolitz port or
BSDI. In Fact, since the article mentions BSDI and NOT Bill Jolitz
one can assume that 386/BSD refers to BSDI.

At any rate, I am still waiting on Peter (phs@netcom.com) to find
out more about what he was thinking with respect to FreeBSD or
NetBSD.
