I was able to purchase from a CD ROM vendor at a computer swap meet a CD
ROM from InfoMagic titled "UNIX(tm) CD-ROM"  version is January 1994 and
includes 386BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD.  They have the following vendor infor-
mation printed on the jacket:
Voice: (800) 800-6613 or (609) 683-5501
FAX:   (609) 683-5502
Internet:  info@infomagic.com

Comments:
I was unsuccessful on installing 386BSD.  I have not tried to install
FreeBSD.  I used the CD to make install disks, and have NetBSD 0.9 working
on my computer, and attached to the Internet!

p.s.  I have never contacted the company, or know anything about them, this 
is not an advertisement, but I am a happy user.  I don't remember how much 
it cost it was around $25.00, retail is suggested as $40.00.
