Why are you using the AMD installation with an Intel cpu?

From http://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html:


"OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit

mode. It also runs on processors made by other manufacturers which

have cloned the AMD64 extensions. (Some Intel processors lack support

for important PAE NX bit, which means those machines will run without

any W^X support -- it is thus safer to run those machines in i386

mode)."


This machine has the Intel Q6600 quad-core processor, which supports PAE NX.

Probably because it's a better architecture.

If such decisions could be made without taking into account

reality, surely sparc64 would be a better choice.


But the S10 has an N270 Atom processor, so it is i386 only.

That's not correct. See my previous message. You are confusing my

machine (a Thinkstation S10 workstation) with a Lenovo netbook of the

same name.

Either way, I believe the Atom supports amd64 architecture as well as

i386.

If it makes it far enough to display usb device attachment it can

definitely run 64-bit code, as evidenced by the fact that it is.
