I want to buy a computer based on Cyrix P166+ chip. I heard that Cyrix P166+ is not recognized by FreeBSD as i586 but as i486. I know that for Linux kernel Cyrix patch is available. Is there some similar patch for FreeBSD? BTW what FreeBSD core team thinks about Cyrix - I saw that J"org was not really enthusiastic about it. Alexander Indenbaum baum@actcom.co.il
