Didn't your dmesg come with two lines after the CPU: line, which look
like this (from my DX2/40 laptop):
CPU: i486 DX2 (486-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x435 Stepping=5
Features=0x3<FPU,VME>
From my 3.2-RELEASE sources (specifically, src/sys/i386/i386):
---
#if defined(I486_CPU) || defined(I586_CPU) || defined(I686_CPU)
if(*cpu_vendor)
printf(" Origin = \"%s\"",cpu_vendor);
if(cpu_id)
printf(" Id = 0x%x", cpu_id);
.
.
.
/* Avoid ugly blank lines: only print newline when we have to.
*/
if (*cpu_vendor || cpu_id)
printf("\n");
#endif
---
This section of code has been updated but still showed Origin, Id, and
etc. back in 2.2.8.
I would think that making sure you have
cpu "I486_CPU"
in your kernel config would at least get the appropriate information to
see why your SX chip isn't being detected correctly.
