i686 as a minimum allows a switch to PAE page tables. In my opinion we should still allow building FreeBSD for i586 (and I would like to have such a case in our hardware CI lab), but the default for the installation images and prebuilt packages should be i686. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
