Re: i386 vs i686 was Configured kernel source code ... What …

I think it's just different optimizations.

A PPro, PII, PIII are definitely i686 though, so it's a reasonable choice.

I recall if you told FreeBSD (3.3) to make a i686 kernel, it WOULDN'T run on
a lower class, which led to my surprise discovery that a K6 was i586 class,
not i686.
