I have tried images to boot FreeBSD 2.0R, 2.0.5R, and 2.0.5-950622-SNAP on my 33Mhz Cyrix 486DL which is currently running FreeBSD 1.1, and none of them have worked. 2.0R hangs before the "Testing Memory" message, and the 2.0.5 versions reboot right before the Copyright message (right after uncompressing done and booting kernel). I have tried all three boot images on my 386, and the images themselves seem fine. (I have tried to disable the cache, but that breaks this system very badly for some unknown reason...) Should I bite the bullet and get a 486 MB and an Intel chip, or is there some way I can contribute to resolving this?
