(Yep, it's i586.) I'm not sure: is it a question about CPUTYPE flag in /etc/make.conf? Because right after my first reply I saw this in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf (about CPUTYPE): > # Currently the following CPU types are recognized: > # Intel x86 architecture: > # (AMD CPUs) athlon-mp athlon-xp athlon-4 athlon-tbird athlon k6-3 > # k6-2 k6 k5 > # (Intel CPUs) p4 p3 p2 i686 i586/mmx i586 i486 i386 > # Alpha/AXP architecture: ev67 ev6 pca56 ev56 ev5 ev45 ev4 > # Intel ia64 architecture: itanium Probably setting CPUTYPE=k6-2 would be best.
