Both machine and machine_arch are `i386' on PC-98 to avoid problem of third-party applications. If a program uses the machine instead of the machine_arch, that program can not be used on PC-98 box. It happens not only when a program uses sysctl, also a program uses uname (uname returns machine instead of machine_arch.) -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ KATO Takenori <kato@nendai.nagoya-u.ac.jp> | FreeBSD | Center for Chronological Research, Nagoya Univ.| The power to serve! | Nagoya, 464-8602, Japan | http://www.FreeBSD.org/ | |http://www.jp.FreeBSD.org/| ++++ FreeBSD(98) 4.3R-Rev. 01 available! +==========================+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
