Sure: $ sysctl hw.model hw.model: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions $ uname -a FreeBSD freebie.lemis.com 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #132: Thu Feb 25 14:41:17 CST 1999 grog@freebie.lemis.com:/T/src/FREEBIE/src/sys/compile/FREEBIE i386 > The kernel reports at ipl : a AMD K6-CPU (586 cpu-class serie) is installed.

You haven't really said what you want, but I'm assuming that you want it to say FreeBSD/AMD-K6 instead of FreeBSD/i386. You can do that: you have all the source. The i386 in the text refers to the architecture, not the processor. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
