NetBSD 1.0 is (note the PRESENT tense...i'm running it on my system) a
4.4BSD-Lite kernel...period. vm, filesystems, you named it. some
userland code is 4.4 as well. enough that its a completely working
system. not all the userland has been moved over because they want to
make sure that each is tested as it is added.
I really quite impressed with the work of the NetBSD team on the move to
a 4.4 based kernel. i was able to do it with a simple recompile from a
0.9a -current system straight to 0.9c and then to 1.0-ALPHA when the
version number changed that fateful night...
-bri
in case your wondering, i think this was the internal versioning for the
kernel, but on exact details i could be wrong...
0.9 4.3
0.9a 4.4fs?
0.9b 4.4vm?
0.9c 4.4
