Or not matter, it still can be using i686? Soekris, > a few small motherboards and other thin clients are still using Geode. All magic happens in initializecpu(sys/i386/i386/initcpu.c) If geode reports himself as i586 then sse won't be enabled. Although some bioses allow it at startup.
As a side note, I'm realy not sure that contemporary kernel can boot on IBM Blue Lightning or Cyrix 486SLC or even Cyrix 5x86, can anyone test it? -- Adios _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
