[PC-BSD Testing] Questions for 32bit users, [H/W specs]

[unixlist-pcbsddevel at yahoo.com]

Hello everyone,

For the 32-bit version, I have a small Gateway netbook I run PC-BSD on.  I set the sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq to 1333 rather than 1666 though:  



CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455   @ 1.66GHz (1662.74-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x106ca  Family = 6  Model = 1c  Stepping = 10
  Features=0xbfe9fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
  Features2=0x40e39d<SSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,MOVBE>
  AMD Features=0x20100000<NX,LM>
  AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
  TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics
real memory  = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
avail memory = 2069532672 (1973 MB)

Running in VirtualBox on a Mac:
[Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:25:48 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64]

This was installed with the regular 32 bit DVD iso and not the VirtualBox 32 bit DVD  disk.


From the PCBSD diagnostics:


CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P8700  @ 2.53GHz (315.22-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x1067a  Family = 6  Model = 17  Stepping = 10

Features2=0x209<SSE3,MON,SSSE3>
AMD Features=0x20100800<SYSCALL,NX,LM>
AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF>
real memory  = 1073676288 (1023 MB)
avail memory = 1027092480 (979 MB)

IIRC I tried the 64 bit in VirtualBox shortly after the release. Seems that the mouse integration under the GuestAdditions did not work properly. And a while back I believe I tried PCBSD using the VirtualBox images but believe there were a couple of "issues" at that time - but don't remember exactly what they were now.

Back again at this point - thanks a lot for the rolling release.
