  I have noticed that wuarchive.wustl.edu has an archive o
BSD 4.3-Tahoe-Reno source (kernel and all) and it contains info for
i386 and other systems.  It would be nice to install a BSD system,
on my 386, and as I have some knowledge of how to go about compiling it,
there is one simple problem..I have never dealt with installing a boot.
It is easy enough to get my SCSI Wren formatted for BSD, but how to instal
l an i386 boot? The filesystem I "think" is very different from Sys V,
and would require a bit of low level work in getting one made by hand.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should look, or just give
it up completely...
