Is "Coppermine" a Celeron?!?  Or are some Celerons Coppermines?

I get this from NetBSD:

cpu0: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) (686-class), 664.54 MHz
cpu0: I-cache 16K 32b/line 4-way, D-cache 16K 32b/line 2/4-way
cpu0: L2 cache 256K 32b/line 8-way
cpu0: features 383f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR>
cpu0: features 383f9ff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,FGPAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,XMM>

It should be giving you more info than that.

# from OpenBSD:
# cpu0: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 128KB L2 cache) 631 MHz
# cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SYS,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SIMD

I think OpenBSD and Linux are possibly lying to you?
