I am reconfiguring my kernel, and wondered if I can remove the line
cpu "I386_CPU"
since I am running a 486DX. I'm assuming I also do not need the
emulation code.
Theoretically, yes. (Or, that was the idea, and it seems to work for
us. B-)) What you're really referring to is the option
`MATH_EMULATE', though. Some 486s do not have floating point.
