SubliemeSiem Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It means you use the i386 architecture and thus a 32 bit kernel and extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandni99a Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi what does arch=i386 mean? I always type this on the boot screen in order to go online. You can add "arch=i386" in your com.apple.boot.plist file (/Extra folder) under Kernel Flag as a <string>arch=i386</string> so that you don't have to type it every time. Or maybe you need updated network drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital farmer Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It means you use the i386 architecture and thus a 32 bit kernel and extensions. But why even if there's arch=i386 in my com.apple.boot.plist, if I take a look "all Processes" with Activity monitor app, ALMOST all "Kind" of the processes are indicated as 'Intel 64 bit"?
