In this video, I will install the very first version of FreeBSD (v1.0), which was released in 1993.
This version was based on 386BSD, which was developed by William Jolitz and his wife Lynne Greer Jolitz.
It is not so trivial to install the first version of FreeBSD, mainly due to the fact that it supported a very limited set of hardware; this is not surprising, as we were in the very early beginning of the modern era of PCs based on Intel CPUs.
This video is a bit long, because I had to suffer quite a lot to get everything working; while the video is only about 45min, the whole thing took more than 6 hours to shoot, and even more time to put together in a video, in a format that, not only hopefully makes sense, but that you can enjoy watching and discovering the roots of this wonderful operating system.
Comments and suggestions are more than welcome - please use the space down below.
If you would like me to do a follow-up video, in which I explore the original software, see if I can compile one or two programs from the ports collection, get network up and running, etc... then please leave a thumbs-up and also some comment :-
I hope you enjoy and... as always, have a great day!
