System: NetBSD packrat.flame.org 1.1A NetBSD 1.1A (PACKRAT) #1: Fri Feb 2 02:38:21 CST 1996 explorer@packrat.flame.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PACKRAT i386
>Description:
When the CPU class is lowered from i586 -> i486 or i486 -> i386, the
message given is somewhat misleading unless one has the source at hand and
can read it. I propose a more detailed message.
>How-To-Repeat:
N.A.
>Fix:
Apply the following small patch to /sys/arch/i386/i386/machdep.c:
