This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --sx0m1fmKqE6FxewKL2VArQh2he5bbIcId Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 02/12/17 21:09, Warner Losh wrote: > the older x86 that required it doesn't run FreeBSD anymore > anyway. is this an official acknowledgement of the PR that I attempted to file before I even changed my name[1] but was shooed away because "it works in qemu"? n.b. printf never succeeded even at the beginning of init386; at that point my day job was far too pressing to continue tinkering for a while. Of course, I gave up completely after being called an idiot for even trying[2]. Not that such an acknowledgement would make me /happy/ (on the contrary, my last FreeBSD computer is a Pentium II that is still clinging to 9-stable because 10 and 11 don't boot on it; haven't tried 12), but at least the project seems(?) to be ready to acknowledge that the hardware notes for x86 are a bold face lie[3] and that FreeBSD does *not* support chips that don't have SSE any more. --arw [1]: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2015-February/054659.= html [2]: https://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd@fug.com.br/msg76535.html [3]: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.1R/hardware.html#proc --=20 A.
