So..where can I find a patched kernel with the Xfree extensions installed? Item 5 of README.386BSD in the XFree86 distribution on agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2 covers this: The easiest way to get an up-to-date kernel binry is to ftp it from agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/patch-kit. 386bsd.nostrip.X supports X and uses the pccons console driver. We also supply kernel binaries that have all of patchkit-0.2, XFree86 support and Julian's scsi drivers. There are two versions on agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2: kernel-1.2.pccons.tar.Z - uses the stock pccons console driver kernel-1.2.codrv.tar.Z - uses Holger Veit's enhanced console driver Note that Nate's kernel (386bsd.nostrip.X) uses patchkit 0.2.1 and has more patches.
