Does anyone have FreeBSD running on a Pentium similar in configuration as
my DECpc XL Server:

Pentium 66Mhz
PCI/EISA
64MB ram
1GB SCSI2 HD

I have two IDE drives that have FreeBSD 1.1R on them.  They used to be in
my 386 machine.  I tried to boot my Pentium with the HDs but FreeBSD didn't
like the processor.  The kernel was compiled for the 386.  Will recompiling
for the 486 do the trick?

I'd like to get this working before I put NeXTStep on the SCSI drive.
