I can't speak as to whether or not this is warrented or not, but this part is at least wrong. i386 CPU support was dropped years ago in the kernel, only 486-class processors and higher (with a math-coprocessor) are supported. The real hint here might be that cpu0: must contain "CX8" to reliably work from now on, which indicates support for the CMPXCHG8 instruction. > +In concrete terms for Intel and AMD CPUs, Intel Pentium and AMD K5 > +are now the minimal requirements for i386 architecture. > + > + > <h3 id="r20200529">2020/05/29 - [ports] net/isc-bind example files > dropped</h3> > > Outdated example configuration (including some "standard" zone files and > >
