Hi!

I recently 'upgraded' my router from i486/33 to Cyrix 486DLC/66 and
now I get a funny warning at bootup and I don't quite know what to
make of it:

  NetBSD 1.3.2 (CONSTRICTOR) #1: Fri Mar 12 12:03:40 CET 1999
      bernd@boa:/usr/src/sys-i4b/arch/i386/compile/CONSTRICTOR
  cpu0: Cyrix 486DLC (486-class)
  WARNING: CYRIX 486DLC CACHE UNCHANGED.

What does this mean, and what inconvenient consequences might it have,
that NetBSD thinks it needs to warn me about this? So far the machine
runs fine and about 50% faster than the old Intel.

One other thing: I installed 1.4_BETA on a second hard disk in that
computer, but was unable to make isdn4bsd-beta-00.71 work with it
(neither did it work with 1.3.3 for me).

Is anyone here running said i4bsd verion with 1.4_BETA on i386?

Regards,

	Bernd
