[bf1942] Freebsd rehashed

[kama]

If you do a grep for SSE in dmesg you should get a hit..

$ grep SSE /var/run/dmesg.boot
Features=0x383f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE>

For it to work you must have SSE om the feature list.

you could try to use the athlon sse hack in freebsd...

# CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK tries to enable SSE instructions when the BIOS has
# forgotten to enable them.
options         CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK

Dont know if that would help. You have to look at the specs for that proc.
If I recall the early Athlons did not support SSE.
