I might be getting a Sun 386i to take home from work soon, and would
prefer to run some BSD variant on it (rather than SunOS 4.0.2).

So, have any of the existing BSD variants (netbsd, freebsd, 386bsd,
etc) been ported to this machine?

If not, does anyone know how much might be missing in the closest
port?  (it's my understanding, and I could be wrong, that before the
386i hardware was ready, Sun did their initial SunOS port to a compaq
and then ported the result to the 386i)
