Hi,

I gave a try to the new netbsd-4/i386.
I noticed in GENERIC that POWERNOW_K8 is enabled.

Booting a 4.0_BETA/i386 does not show all the nice Cool'n'Quiet
messages thats pops up when booting 3.99.24/amd64.

I also build a GENERIC plus ACPI bits but I still have no POWERNOW_K8
features:

It wasn't there is 4.99.1/i386 either.
Any idea ?

TIA,
