I will set CPU type to 586.

Here are some assumptions (excuse terseness, please
correct any as necessary):

- No SMP (2 or more CPUs at the same time)
- PCI and ISA, but no EISA or MCA support
- No PCI database (adds 80K and is not useful)
- Support for PCMCIA (as module)
- SysVIPC (for DOSEMU)
- No sysctl or bsd proc. accounting
- a.out support as module
- modular floppy, parallel & serial port
- booting from initrd or ide hard drive (but not scsi, usb,
parallel zip, pcmcia, or loop)
- no RAID (use of multiple drives as one for speed
or reliability)
- modular ppp, plip, ethernet, no firewall
- no odd hardware like firewire, watchdog cards
- no unix98 ptys
- no framebuffer/vga=ask support
- proc, ext2 filesystem support
- modular ntfs, vfat, isofs, etc.
- modular sound, usb

This should probably move off-list, as USB hardware
is not very relevant to BL.

Note that you will need to upgrade pppd and insmod
when moving to 2.4.

David
