Why not? The K6-2 is a Pentium clone, even if it runs at PII speeds. Here's a snippet from dmesg on one of my boxen: CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (350.80-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping=12 Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX> > #3) when I boot up the Cyrix with OpenBSD it's > detected as a 686 running at 251.36Mhz. > should I expect the same with FreeBSD? why > does this happen? is there something wrong > with the processor?
