I suppose you could try UCB (Computer Science Department).  CSRG's
closed down, but somebody probably distributes the stuff.  The last
time I heard, they were selling the tapes for $1000.  Be prepared to
show your UNIX source license.  You'll also need a VAX to run it on.

Seriously, forget 4.3BSD.  It's obsolete, costs big bucks, and by
default it doesn't run on modern machines.  You'll be in a lot better
shape bringing your embedded product up to date.
