Hi there. I noticed that a verbose boot on 2.2-RELEASE incorrectly
identifies my chipset. This is a completely non-critical issue, but I'd
thought I'd bring it up anyays :-)

dmesg output:

FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE #0: Tue Dec  3 23:39:42 EST 1996
    root@celebris.quickweb.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/RingZero
Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock ... i586 clock: 149998373

...

chip1 <Intel 82450KX (Orion) PCI memory controller> rev 2 on pci0:25


Now, I know that it says on the chipset that it's an 82450GX - I'm just
curious if it's the actual probe reporting this KX ident, or if it just
hasn't been properly identified (i.e. no code wirtten to distinguish the
KX from the GX). Or is it even possible to distinguish the two ??

Thanks for any insight! As soon as I get a PDF viewer installed, I'll dig
through the PPro Developers Guide and see what it says... =)

cya,
-Mark
