Read the INSTALL.NOTES with the 386bsd 0.1 distribution.  It reads:

	On the INTERNET/USENET, we are hoping to establish our
	own  newsgroup called "comp.os.386bsd". This newsgroup would
	reside  alongside  the  "comp.os.mach"  and  "comp.os.linux"
	newsgroups. Already there are over 100,000 copies of Release

and further down:

	by  asking  your  news coordinator to subscribe to it. We do
	not recommend using comp.unix.bsd, since 386BSD, like  linux
	and mach, is not a "comp.unix" system.


I agree with Peter.  "comp.os.386bsd"
