You need to add: cpu "I686_CPU" ...to your kernel config file. It's always a good idea to carefully examine the 'GENERIC' kernel config file when upgrading to a newer version of FreeBSD; we often add new things and change the format/specification of old things, and this is usually important. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
