Unlike prior versions, 2.9 BSD is a full Unix distribution, not relying on a prior v6 or v7 system. The kernel uses complicated series of overlays this version of BSD should be an indirect port of 4.1 BSD.

Installation is quite slow on SIMH but there is a guide, Installing 2.9 BSD on SIMH. I'll have install tapes, and a pre-made image later.
