From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 15:08:06 +0100 Message-ID: <11485.974210886@critter> Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG If no /entropy is found it takes a full minute to do the randomdev seeding during boot on a P5/133. Has anybody run a 486 or 386 under current recently ? Have we defacto discontinued them from current ? I can see the advantage for the SMPng people in dropping the 386/486 and I'm approaching the level where I would be willing to say: "Sorry, stick with 4.x for i386/i486".
