NetBSD and FreeBSD are very similar, two (unfortunate) separate branches
of development.  BSD386 is the progenor of FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and
isn't around anymore.  It was originally a patchkit to the BSD sources to
make it i386-capable.  (I think?)

See the web pages -- there may be a history page tucked in there
somewhere.
