I do on my dual PII :box, and it works... Oh sure, that will work, but I haven't found that removing the I586_cpu improves performance any and I've shot myself in the foot in the past by not having it - I have a mix of machines and sometimes I shift boot disks around. The K6-II's are recognized as 586 cpu's. -Matt Matthew Dillon :Run mptable, and set your kernel to explicitly use what it returns. : : :David Scheidt : : : :To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org :with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
