How are you going to do that, Ted? From the 6.0R release notes: "Support for
80386 processors (the I386_CPU kernel configuration option) has been
removed. Users running this class of CPU should use FreeBSD 5.*X* or
earlier."
Use a i486 then... The point he's trying to make is still valid.
This would be like running Windows 3.1 on a brand new Xeon 5100
dual-core CPU... sure it will run fast* but what the hell are you
going to do with it? Play solitaire?
* In are hypothetical situation Windows 3.1 is a 64-bit SMP aware OS,
it's not in real life and this should help drive home the point ted is
trying to make.
