Just recently scrapped my last 386 laptop, a dual boot DOS/Xenix 2.3.4 running on a 10/10 HD split IIRC. In its place is a dual boot 486 with DOS and SCO 4.2 unix.
Although SCO wanted specific hardware I was able to put their stuff on a bunch of hardware they probably never heard of and probably wouldn't have supported, if they supported anything. ( ongoing snipe)
Whatever you choose, it probably will need ISA bus and a MFM set, or possibly a SCSI set, although SCSI controllers for that vintage are going scarce.

AIC(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual AIC(4)
NAME
aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver
SYNOPSIS
device aic
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.aic.0.at="isa"
DESCRIPTION
The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips. Many systems that use these controller chips do
not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.
HARDWARE
The adapters supported by the aic driver include:
o Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
o Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
o Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
o Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
o NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)
SEE ALSO
aha(4), ahb(4), ahc(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), intro(4), sa(4)
BUGS
The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus. The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives. The
driver works not so well with disk drives. The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing
levels of testing of the devices.
