I think it's likely that it is a 64-bit installation. Not sure about that. How could the amd64 OS be installed and run on a i386 machine? it cannot. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-que

That's the amd64 (64-bit) GENERIC Jason: It looks like you may have installed the 64-bit distribution on your nonsense. 64-bit distribution doesn't run on 32-bit computer. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailma

I am installing 8.3-RELEASE on an old 900mhz pentium laptop ... it's an i686 CPU. By default, GENERIC has "HAMMER" as the cpu, and that isn't working. So I tried both: you've got into wrong directory /usr/src/sys/i386/conf is right /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf is wrong, unless you have 64-bit C

I am installing 8.3-RELEASE on an old 900mhz pentium laptop ... it's an i686 CPU. By default, GENERIC has "HAMMER" as the cpu, and that isn't working. So I tried both: cpu I586_CPU and: cpu I686_CPU (I also tried them both lowercase, like i686_cpu) But all of these fail: GENERIC:
