I also run Debian on embedded computers mainly running SC1100 CPUs and
/proc/cpuinfo reports:-

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 4
model           : 9
model name      : 486 DX/4-WB
stepping        : 4

The kit may be over 8 years old, but it runs just fine and has been running
Debian stock kernels all its life.  I would like to keep it that way.
