You are right out of luck with BSD - 386bsd (the precursor to FreeBSD) only woked on 386's and better, and no-one ever worked seriously on getting a 286 version going. Your best bet is to get a copy of Xenix (dont ask where, you'll need to find someone with and old copy that he could sell you) and run that. A 286 with 1MB of ram will be so slow as to be useless for you. Even if you could get 4MB or 8MB, you would not enjoy the experience.
