Try ftp.bsdi.com:/pub/.... whatever..

I literally dropped in the contributed SVR4 shared memory patches
for BSDI into 386bsd and they worked... This was done a long time
ago by our standards.

Or, if you like try out freebsd it already has the patches and
all what you have to do is  compile the kernel with the shared
memory extensions. The supplied kernel config file, LINT, has an
example on how to configure shared memory extensions for freebsd.
