I think the chain is somewhat longer (for the kernel):
*bsd* (don't remember which one - mach kernel)
-> NeXTstep (initially only m68k, proprietary hardware)
-> NEXTSTEP (i386, ordinary pc's + sparc + hp + m68k)
-> OpenStep (i386/m68k - don't remember when the others got dropped)
-> Rhapsody (sp?)
[NeXT is bought by Apple - or was this before Rhapsody?]
-> Darwin
