I am configuring a customer Kernal for FreeBSD, and if you've ever done it before, it asks what type of machine architecture your system has. I386, I486, I586, or I686. How can I find out what I have?
The Duron is a 7th Generation proccessor and thus would be considered a i786. The line between 6th and 7th generation proccessors is pretty blurry though.
286 - Intel 80286
386 - Intel i386 or AMD 386
486 - Intel i486 or AMD 486
586 - Intel Pentium or AMD K5
686 - Intel Pentium Pro/2/3 or AMD K6, K6-2/III
786 - Intel Pentium 4 or AMD K7 (Athlon, Duron)
The Duron is technically a 7'th generation processor core but it's dubious the FreeBSD kernel will have an option specifiaclly for AMD's 7th generation process core. The most similar kernel that i know for certain is listed would be the 686. Ie. P6 architecture.
