Opteron CPU misidentified as 80386.



Hello,

The AMD64 architecture is mistakenly identified as a 386. I'm not yet sure if this is what is stopping OpenBSD from installing on my system, but either way, this probably is a problem for all platforms with AMD64 cpus. It would make sense to identify it an Athlon as I'm assuming that's its closest sibling. I would give you a dmesg, but I can't. If nobody has an Opteron to test the kernel patch with, I'll test it. I'm pretty sure there might be "legacy" code associated with a 386 that an Opteron or any newer CPU might bark at.

Jaimie.
