JDK uses instruction at the i586 level and the kernel at i686. The difference doesn't give a problem on a i686. It just means you switch you instruction set from time to time. This isn't a problem because the i686 can also read the instruction set of the previous processors. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/FreeBSD/
