Porting Unix to the 386: A Practical Approach



William & Lynne Jolitz


Started open source UNIX.

Appeared in part as a 17 article magazine series in 1991-1992.

Documented the "how, what, why, who, when" of porting BSD to the 386.

Done while BSD was becoming "open source".

THE INITIAL ROOT FILESYSTEM:

Porting Unix to the 386: The Initial Root Filesystem

We build the first instance of the root filesystem - before any operational system is present on the 386 to build one. Part of the bootstrapping cycle of getting up the first running system on a new architecture.
