The one you want is in /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/terry/new-bootables
and is called dist.starlan.cmos.fs. This contains only the CMOS memory fix,
the "big memory" fix, and Garret Wollman's original "StarLAN" driver. Think
of it as having patches 2 and 3 installed.
For obvious reasons (like the other 56 patches), you probably want to get a
kernel off of the 'rachel' site in the UK. Unfortunately, I can't ever seem
to get an FTP to there myself.
