That's strange... I myself just installed FreeBSD on a machine running the
same CPU, and FreeBSD identified it as Pentium Pro class processor. I first
tried setting Cpu to 486-type too, as Windows does infact recognize it as 
a 486. But then kernel would panic.

Don't really know. My installation went flawlessly, apart from the above
mentioned problem. I have the 2,5x66 version of the CPU btw, running off
an Asus TX97-E MB. And running 2.2.2 as well.
