I'm following suit for 4.4BSD as I've got The Design and Implementation 
of the 4.4BSD Operating System book (ISBN: 0-201-54979-4) on my desk.

Sadly it seems as if 4.4BSD-Encumbered would be required to run it on a 
VAX emulator and 4.4BSD-Lite is apparently non-starter.

I'm also wondering if 386BSD on a PC would be close enough.  Though I 
think that it, and it's ilk, is based on 4.3BSD Net/2.  I don't know 
what the effective differences will be.  :-/

In some ways I sort of which I had picked up the 4.3BSD counterpart to 
the book.
