kfreebsd-image-5-486 fails to boot on i586 or i686, and kfreebsd-image-5-585
fails to boot on i686.
>From src/sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c:
#if defined(I586_CPU)
[...]
#endif
#if defined(I686_CPU)
[...]
#endif
default:
printf("Unknown"); /* will panic below... */
}
printf("-class CPU)\n");
If the case that would identify the CPU is pre-processed out, then
"Unknown-class CPU" is printed, followed by a panic.
Solution is to provide 586 and 686 support on 486, etc. Patch attached.
