Good Evening,
FreeBSD 10.0 x64.
I am building a custom kernel becasue I need to enable hardware that is not enabled by default in the generic kernel. I am following the wiki in the FreeBSD handbook. I have looked in the NOTES file...and cannot find a description about cpu types. After copying the GENERIC kernel config to a filename of my choosing, and now I am proceeding to edit it. The option in my file is "cpu HAMMER".
Well...this is an Intel box, core I5. I have checked on wiki.freebsd.org, and also through the docs and faq's on this site....I can't seem to find any documentation that explains to me what my "cpu" options in the kernel config file are available to me.
Can someone please point me to this data?
Or tell me that to remove this line causes the kernel to build "native"?
I have another system I need to build for as well and it is an AMD FX Piledriver (8-core)
This is my first FreeBSD kernel build. I've built lots of kernels for Linux...So I am cutting my kernel teeth in FreeBSD.
Thank you.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave
