Which platform?

[ed at cerridwen.org]

JM,

standard pc's are best served with the i386 platform, afaik. You can 
safely eliminate ppc (motorola/ibm powerpc, i.e. apple's powermacs, ibm's 
rs/6000 and power architecture) the powerpc is not a variant of the i386 
line but is a different chip altogether. I'm personally not sure what 
makes up the pc98 specifications, but on the pc's I have FreeBSD running 
on use the i386 arch and it runs quite well.
