https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.1R/relnotes.html section 11.1 discusses the topic in context of upcoming FreeBSD 13. There was some discussion on the topic in the freebsd-arch mailing list about a year ago: https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=75083+0+archive/2019/freebsd-arch/20191006.freebsd-arch It seems there was no announcement on the change for 11.x branch. I wonder how much RAM does your Pentium 233 MMX have and what part of the RAM is cacheable by the chipset? :-) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
