These should be accessible at most good research libraries. This series of articles was entitled "Porting Unix to the 386". Their book and the articles seem somewhat similarly flavored. Incidently, their book is labled "Volume 1", were there ever any other volumes? Also as an aside, Linus Torvalds announced the first public version of Linux in August 1991 and in his announcement message noted that he had started working on Linux around April. In an interview somewhere, Linus noted that he was aware of the Dr. Dobbs 386BSD articles and found them interesting. The first couple of 386BSD articles described how to bootstrap a system on the 386. - bruce
