So, it looks like BSD/OS 4.3.1 is an older version of a commercial
operating system which was discontinued when Wind River bought BSDi 
about 5 years ago.  From a bit of googling, it looks like you're
involved in most of mailinglist discussions about BSD/OS at this point.

BSD/OS has all the markings of a platform p5p can't support without an 
active porter running smokes and committed to maintaining the port.

Are you up for volunteering to keep the BSD/OS port up to date by
(at a bare minimum) setting up regular smokes and helping to isolate
failures?

For discussion of how to set up a smoker, see this list's archives
from the past week.

Best,
Jesse
