2.0.2 doesn't properly identify a Pentium M "Dothan" processor; this was
added to HEAD in revision 1.15 of sys/arch/i386/i386/identcpu.c, which
doesn't appear to have been pulled up to the 2.0 branch.

Since cpuflags uses the hw.model (among other) sysctls to determine
where it is running, it's unable to properly identify your processor and
falling back to a configuration known to work on generic i686 machines.

Hope this helps.
