BD> You need a kernel with this option or compiled with "cpu I386_CPU". Thnx... Hmm... I need installer with special kernel... Is it possible without building full release? All my FreeBSD-equipped computers are production ones, so I could not try 5.0 on real hardware yet. And I don't have enough HDD space on my 4.x servers to hold CVS & build full 5.0-RELEASE only for custom kernel.
