It doesn't support microchannel. Basically, to support microchannel, go to the directory 'usr/src/sys.386bsd/i386'. Make a directory called 'mca'. Copy all the files from 'isa' to 'mca'. Modify the 'SI386' line in "Makefile". Rewrite all the files in the 'mca' subdirectory as appropriate for the Microchannel bus. Rebuild. You're done. This is rather complicated (the rewrite part), so nobody has really tackled it yet... although something could be in progress and I wouldn't know about it.
