Where did you get this distribution? The one I could easily find,
https://archive.org/details/vax-svr2 , has serious filesystem problems
that can easily be seen by running an fsck on boot.
Speaking of Unix History, following that link led me to a copy of what I
think was the first 4.4BSD-Lite based FreeBSD iso -it's from June 1995. No
big deal *except* that it includes a scan of the cover, something that
looks like an insert and it consists of two cds. I haven't had a chance to
look at the cds yet so I don't know what's on them.
IMO the scans are the big deal and why I'm posting the link to it here.
Apologies in advance for any lapses in etiquette:
