This is good clarification that would be great to see on the main FreeBSD/i386 page. i486 is still supported, but requires you to build your own system. > Note that starting with FreeBSD 13, an i686 class machine is required to build the default kernel and userland. It's really a disappointing experience.Īs mentioned above, I found that 128MB will avoid this particular panic, but it's unclear to me whether the next panic in bug #270534 is just another symptom of having insufficient memory, or something else. I wasted a lot of time trying to get this to work given the initial impression that it should. That page gives the impression that FreeBSD should still run on a typical '486 or Pentium system, which seems not to be the case.Īlso, it would be good to check the memory requirements up front and fail with a clear error message, rather than failing with an obscure panic in malloc or similar. It would be good to have a more realistic minimum requirement documented directly on the FreeBSD/i386 page, along with more specific hardware requirements in general. > FreeBSD/i386 should support any CPU compatible with the Intel(T) 80486 or better in 32-bit mode.ĢGB is an insane minimum memory requirement for systems on the low end of "80486 or better".

Thanks, I did not find that when searching for it. > … A minimum of 2GB of memory is recommended … (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #10) > Press a key on the console to reboot <.
