Thinking of trying to roll my own 486 board, but I need a schematic to go off of. Anyone have any 486 schematics that I can use? Can't seem to find any online.

You could check one of the recent RMC episodes:

Also not a 486 (but a Commodore PC20) but I think they too share a complete board layout.

How about 386? https://alexandrugroza.ro/microelectronics/sy … sbmc/index.html
chipset supports 486 so its just a matter of wiring different socket

There are no schematics in this pdf. It looks like the schematics were included with the software package for the board.

Yep that is it EduBat, for the Intel 486sx eval board. I forgot that the schems were separate. was back in 2017 when I grabbed the files off the Intel developer site, my bad.
Here is what I grabbed, same but as separate .pdfs.......
