But, *even if* we change hw.machine for PC-98, we MUST implement '-p' option for uname(1) and use it instead of '-m' before change hw.machine. And then, there is an opinion that hw.machie for IBM PC/AT should be also changed to the other one (ex. x86pc). 'i386' does not represent IBM PC/AT architecture, but represent CPU architecture. Do you think about this? And, NetBSD/pc98 guys started on merging pc98 support to main tree. I heard that the machine name for NetBSD/i386 is changed (x86pc?) when NetBSD/pc98 is merged to main tree. If so, it is a convenience that both FreeBSD and NetBSD use the same machine name. --- TAKAHASHI Yoshihiro THE CENTER for INFORMATION SCIENCE, Kogakuin Univ.
