forget it. It's Friday, and I'm not tired. I just oversaw that you asked how to get FreeBSD running on a 386 then...
sorry :)

Hi,
I thought 386 support had been removed since 5.X. But http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/installation-i386.html says:
1.2 Hardware Requirements FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor to install and run (although FreeBSD can run on 386 processors with a custom kernel)....
What does this mean?
the very same what is written down. i386 class architecture requieres to have at least a (80)486 CPU.
I believe you are confused by i386 and 486 ... i386 is just the architecture, often called x86 too.Should I install on 486 or higher, build a custom kernel and then physically put the very same disk in a 386 PC?
486 is the processor class itself. So: i386 != 386
