^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are running 386bsd 0.1, which is way old and has lots of bugs that
have been fixed. This is somebody leaving debugging on in the kernel.
You should get Netbsd or Freebsd, so you can have all new bugs. :)
Try ftp from sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu for Netbsd. They have a file
there that lists mirror sites for Netbsd.

I think I used a bit over 150 meg, but I loaded all the sources, etc.

The 386bsd 0.1 mount on the install disk doesn't know NFS. The
mount that gets installed does.
