I followed Dugo’s guide. mem has to limit to 24MB. DOS loader is need for VMWare.
and 386BSD’s sed breaks autoconf scripts, have to build GNU’s sed-2.05.
and 0.1’s gcc virtual memory bug still exists in 1.0, lynx HTML.c cannot be compiled in 1.0.

No, I haven’t really looked at 386BSD 1.0 as it had such a limited release, and almost all the chatter on usenet is how impossible it was to install… I think it was too little too late compared to net/free. And the person I was working with 386 BSD seemed to have up and disappeared….

Oh I mean 386BSD 1.0.

NetBSD 0.8 was extracted from CVS, and I pasted in some NetBSD 0.9 to get it to compile… The NetBSD 0.9 that I found was intact but I’m not sure if we’ll ever find a real copy of NetBSD 0.8 ….

tried -O0 doesn’t help here.

BTW the NetBSD-0.8 system is heavily broken, will it be fixed sometime?

Nice! I want to say there was some trick about building lynx -O0 on html.o, or some linker flag for a large table, but I may be mixing in my VAX here… lol

Welcome to the small club of 386BSD-0.1 users!

I can build lynx2.8.8dev.12 in 386BSD-0.1! (but HTML.o is compiled in NetBSD 0.9 with 386BSD-0.1’s ld/as and your gcc-2.5.8-386bsd.tar.gz)

awesome! It was amazing how 386BSD 0.0 was .. barely booting but how quickly the internet community was able to transform it into something so usable & awesome.
