The kernel config file details what support is built into the
kernel. However, what instruction set and how the instructions are built
are dependent on the compiler options which are set in /etc/make.conf
I have:
CPUTYPE=pentium4
In one server that has a Pentium 4's /etc/make.conf so gcc
in bsd 6, i have to recompile the kernel to add atapicam. ok, fine.
the part of the config file that gets me is this:
machine i386
cpu I486_CPU
cpu I586_CPU
cpu I686_CPU
ident GENERIC
the machine i386, i get. all intel PC's since the
the rest is what i don't understand. 486 isn't mentioned in the NOTES
file, 586 is just pentium, and 686 is pentium pro. I have a P4 1.4 gig
intel chip in my system, what should these settings be? if i remove 486
You could use only 686.
GENERIC kernel is generic, it is meant to support
