Three of my machines have the F00F bug; my firewall, my print server and my laptop - I happened to test this earlier today, while upgrading my last 4.5-pX machines. I also use ISA network cards a bit, and a lot of on-motherboard things seem to be logically ISA devices. I don't have any 486s now, but that is more to do with end-of-life ones not being prefitted with a useful amount of memory. I'd be very grateful if ISA support and the f00f workaround stayed in FreeBSD for a long time yet. Regards, William Palfreman. -- W. Palfreman.
