X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:53:12 -0000 I am installing 8.3-RELEASE on an old 900mhz pentium laptop ... it's an i686 CPU. By default, GENERIC has "HAMMER" as the cpu, and that isn't working. So I tried both: cpu I586_CPU and: cpu I686_CPU (I also tried them both lowercase, like i686_cpu) But all of these fail: GENERIC: unknown option "I586_CPU" How can I set 586/686 (you're supposed to set both) in my kernel conf ? Thanks.
