This software was originally derived from William
F. Jolitz's 386BSD release 0.1, though almost none of the
original 386BSD specific code remains. This software has
been essentially reimplemented from the 4.4 BSD Lite
release provided by the Computer Science Research Group
(CSRG) at the University of California, Berkeley and
associated academic contributors.
There are also portions of NetBSD that have been integrated
into FreeBSD as well, and we would therefore like to thank
all the contributors to NetBSD for their work. Despite
some occasionally rocky moments in relations between the
two groups, we both want essentially the same thing: More
BSD based operating systems on people's computers! We wish
the NetBSD group every success in their endeavors.
Hardware contributors
A special thank-you to Walnut Creek CDROM for providing
the Pentium P5-90 and 486/DX2-66 EISA/VL systems that are
being used for our development work, to say nothing of the
network access and other donations of hardware resources.
It would have been impossible to do this release without
their support.
TRW Financial Systems, Inc. provided 130 PCs, three 68 GB
fileservers, twelve ethernets, two routers and an ATM
switch for debugging the diskless code. They also keep a
couple of FreeBSD hackers alive and busy. Thanks!
Thanks also to Dermot McDonnell for his donation of a
Toshiba XM3401B CDROM drive. It's been most useful!
Thanks to Chuck Robey <chuckr@eng.umd.edu> who's been
contributing his floppy tape streamer for experimental
work.
