[ros-kernel] ROS on 486

[Jeff Smith]

I don't believe that it will ever be possible to get ReactOS running on a
386, if we are aiming for ReactOS doing what XP can, the reason I'm saying
this is Windows 95 at the start claimed to run on a 386, but several peolpe
have thier HD's die on them because Windows wasn't suited for a 386,  you
can try it, but it may end up costing some one some money replacing a HD
