I just tried installing the same versions as you (only one recent 
snapshot though) on my VS440FX based box, with the same results except 
for the value of efl:

This one is happily running 4.9, and has run everything from 4.3 
upwards.

From 4.9:

CPU: Pentium Pro (199.43-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x619  Stepping = 9
  Features=0xf9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV>

Same here.

I've put the dmesg from 4.9 at http://hex.athame.co.uk/FreeBSD/dmesg.txt

It's not essential this box runs 5.x (it's my fileserver so I like some 
stability), but I thought I would add something to show you aren't the 
only one affected by this.

Cheers,

Andy
