Can you run Sys V/AT on a 386 box?

[John Kennedy]

I have recently confirmed that the 286-COFF executables compiled on
System V/AT seem to run reliably on a 386 machine running Sys V 3.2
(AT&T 6386 WGS).  

It would make sense, as the 386 is supposed to be a true superset of the
286.

Question:

Is there any reason that a Sys V/AT wouldn't run on a 386 CPU board?
Granted, there are unique initializations for the 386 processor, 
but shouldn't that be handled by the BIOS before boot?

Anyone doing this?  It seems like a nice migration step.

John
