Re: there were small servers based on Pentiums before that

Netware 286 wasn't all that widespread but Netware 386, and Netware 3.x, particularly on 486s and Pentiums, was in very wide use prior to the Pentium Pro coming out.

IMHO, the 386 was the milestone chip for X86 servers, not the Pentium Pro.

We had a Sequent system with 16 or 20 386s in it. It was a good machine.
