You don't want >386BSD, but one of its derivative systems: NetBSD or FreeBSD. Actually, it's no longer fair or accurate to call FreeBSD or NetBSD "386BSD derivatives". They've both been almost completely re-hosted on top of 4.4! In FreeBSD 2.0's case, and I'm almost positive NetBSD 1.0's as well (I genuinely haven't looked at it yet), so little of the original 386BSD code remains that it's about as accurate to say they're Version 6 based as it is to say they're 386BSD based.
