After taking the longest time to get my kernel configured the way I wanted, I noticed that my CPU_TYPE had to be "i586" for my AMD-K6 233MHz. After looking through some documentation, I noticed that FreeBSD says that an"i686" is like a Pentium Pro. I was (and have been) under the impression that a K6 was 686 architecture. Am I wrong? Or is this the FreeBSD recognizes socket 7 CPU's? If I used a K6-2 in my system, would it also fall under the category of "i586"?
