I thought it might....

Under NetBSD-1.5T with a PII-300Mhz I see the likes of:

	cpu0: Intel Pentium II (Klamath) (686-class), 299.22 MHz
	cpu0: I-cache 16K 32b/line 4-way, D-cache 16K 32b/line 2/4-way
	cpu0: L2 cache 512K 32b/line 4-way
	cpu0: features 80fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR>
	cpu0: features 80fbff<PGE,MCA,CMOV,MMX>
 
Older netbsd was perhaps less verbose:

	cpu0: family 5 model 2 step c
	cpu0: Intel Pentium (P54C) (586-class)

(that's a different CPU than above of course, just plain old Pentium)

though 1.5T on a 486 says just:

	cpu0: Intel 486DX (486-class)

or maybe:

	cpu0: Intel 486DX2 (486-class)
	cpu0: features b<FPU,VME,PSE>

(I'm not sure there's any way to find out the L2 cache size on a 386/486
without asking the BIOS which will have discovered it from motherboard
specific jumper settings, etc.)
