We seem to have a bunch of Unix-types on here so I thought I'd pose a
question. Today, I came across the following 5 HD disks from Berkeley
Software Design Inc:
- BSD/OS 1.1 Boot Disk 1, /boot and /bsd
- BSD/OS 1.1 Boot Disk 2, Installation Utilities
- BSD/OS 1.1 Kerberos, Kerberos Utilities
- BSD/OS 1.1 Encryption, Encryption Utilities & Src
- BSD/OS 1.1 EZ-Config, Configuration Tools
What's missing from this set that would keep it from installing? Is
there anything particularly interesting about it other than it appears to be
the ancestor of the current Net/FreeBSD?

Actually what you've got here is the commercial BSD varient. Of the top of
my head I'd say it's from around '93-94. I'm guessing you're missing
a
CD-ROM, as you look to have enough there just to do a minimalist setup that
would get you to where you can start the real install.

Thanks Zane, I'll take a look around and see if there's a
matching CD anywhere then.

To the best of my knowledge, BSD/OS, which is still being developed by BSDi,
is not so much an ancestor as a sibling of the open source BSDs.
I just fired a NetBSD box up to see, and indeed threy all are branches on the
same 4.3BSD NET/2 tree.
What is interesting about that version is its age, most probably. Could you
have a look at its hardware requirements?

Unfortunately I've yet to find whatever documentation or CD
came along with the floppies. I'm still hoping to at least come up
with the CD though. The disks are copyright 1994 by BSDI. I've
never been able to find specific hardware requirements for it either
but the date would suggest at least a 486 and 8 meg of RAM.
