I have collected data from two different machines with a FreeBSD 8.0
i386 LiveCD:

uname -s        uname -m        uname -p
----------------------------------------
Intel E6300 (Core2 Duo):
 FreeBSD         amd64           amd64
 32bit os (same processor):
 FreeBSD         i386 		 i386
----------------------------------------
Intel Pentium M:
 FreeBSD         i386 		 i386

So both (uname -m and uname -p) don't depend on the installed CPU just
on the version of FreeBSD. Probably the implementation of uname(3) is
different in FreeBSD libc und GNU libc. Unix is such a homogeneous
environment, isn't it ;-)


Kind regards,
