Or was it a supported product of UCB? Vanilla 4.3BSD did not include NFS. One of the later updates (Tahoe, Reno, etc) introduced it. It also introduced a number of kernel instabilities which made the system crash frequently - we found and fixed about 6 of them the hard way, but some escaped us. It looks like the next stable environment after 4.3-vanilla is 4.4-alpha, but that release does not include VAX support. We were looking at it, but we decided to migrate to the Intel 486 architecture (with BSDI's BSD/386).
