If you're willing to go back before Jolitz' 386BSD or BSD44lite code, check
out
the CSRG Archives. Marshall Kirk McKusick offers a set of CD-ROMs with
versions
of the original BSD, up to BSD 1:

http://www.mckusick.com/csrg/index.html

They're not not freely available, because that ancient code was covered by a
different
license back then, so by buying those CD-ROMs you have to agree to those
terms.
But it's worth the hassle: there's very interesting code in there if you're
an OS historian.
