Hi,
I thought 386 support had been removed since 5.X. But http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/installation-i386.html says:
1.2 Hardware Requirements FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor to install and run (although FreeBSD can run on 386 processors with a custom kernel)....
What does this mean?
One thing you need on the target system (IIRC..) is a FPU.
So? The hardware requirements state "FreeBSD can run on 386 processors...".
The GENERIC kernel that is shipped with FreeBSD will not boot on an 80386 processor, period.
Can I induce an FPU into my system by customizing my kernel?
You'll need an FPU and a custom kernel that is compiled with the CPU_I386 option.
