If the 386 has a copro, the BL2 kernel will run.  If the
386 doesn't have a copro, it can use a kernel from Slack71
to run BL2.  The best kernel for this is probably lowmem.i
(which has copro emulation and is small enough to run the
BL2 ramdisk in 8mb RAM).  The main problem with lowmem.i is
it has no networking capability (even ppp is impossible).

Sorry, the BL2 kernel won't run on 486sx.  With 8mb RAM,
the lowmem.i kernel should be used.  With more RAM, other
kernels can be used (for example, the best kernel for a
laptop is probably bareapm.i).

Cheers,
Steven
