  I asked a while back if anyone had any NetBSD 0.8 or
0.9 archives.. I
 thought I'd let the list know that I did manage to find NetBSD 0.9, and
 using VMWare I've managed to revive it into something that Qemu can run.

 If anyone has VMWare and wants to stroll down memory lane, I've uploaded the
 install diskettes here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/Install%20tapes/NetBSD/0.9/NetB…

 And I've setup an archive with Qemu&  NetBSD all ready to go here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/4BSD%20under%20Windows/v0.4/Net…

 If anyone wants to use their own qemu for their own platform, I've had to
 modify the hw/pc.c and remove the NE2000 definition of 0x300,9 as irq 9 is
 in use somewhere else in the emulator and it won't allow any sharing on
 Irq9.. (Wasn't IRQ 9 shared anyways with the cascade controller???)

 At any rate, I built irc, lynx&  bzip2 on there, and they seem to function
 just fine.

 Again if anyone has any lead on NetBSD 0.8 that'd be great, I'd like to save
 these from the digitial dumpster.... 
Maybe I'm totally dense, or something...?

cvs -P :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -R netbsd-0-8 src

or substitute the tag netbsd-0-9 or netbsd-0-9-base if you need those 
revisions. Nothing is going to disappear into a digital dumpster when 
you have revision control systems...

(There are bunch of more tags related to NetBSD 0.9 as well, if you want 
to know, and you can get at any other version you want as well, just as 
easily.)

If you want binaries and not just sources, then it might be a bit more 
tricky. But since you can build the system from the sources, I can't see 
that this should be a big hurdle.
