## Charles Lecklider via freebsd-stable (freebsd-stable@freebsd.org): > As you can see from objdump below, clearly a decision was made that 11.4 > would no longer support anything before a i686. Given that the hardware notes https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.4R/hardware.html#proc-i386 explicitely claim 80486 compatibility, I'd guess this was not a consciuous decision but a blunder which wasn't caught (perhaps as hardware of that vintage is getting rare these days. That box must be old enough to buy alcohol by now?). Regards, Christoph -- Spare Space
