The answer to my own question about the availability of bsd386:

William Jolitz, the author of the article about the bsd version for 
386 sent me the official statement of the Berkeley university:

" The 386BSD support will be available in February as part of a revision
of the 1989 Networking Release distribution.
One very important fact to remember is, that although the 386BSD itself
support is freely redistributable, much of the rest of the operating system
and utilities require source licenses.
Therefore, the February distribution will NOT be a complete system and
cannot be booted or run on a 386 machine.
The distribution will require only a Berkeley license and distribution fee.
Previous fees were approximately $500, but the actual fee has not yet
been determined.

The 4.4BSD release is scheduled for the middle of 1991, and additional,
support for the 386 will be made available at that time."

He also writes that 386BSD is distributed by the University of California
at Berkeley CSRG, and that you should contact them at 415-642-7780 when 
386BSD is available.

You can mail lynne@berkeley.edu for more information, and the february 
issue of Dr. Dobbs will have another article.
