just a quicky installing freebsd on some nice sgi 1200s they are 2ru machines ,dual p3 800, mylex scsi raid intel mainboard freebsd works a treat, except the motherboard has the strangest quirk that only on cold boots does it detect both cpu's. warm reboots cause it to disable the second cpu and thus freebsd doesnt pick up the second cpu (annoying) the same bug is present in all three machines i have im hoping i can just force freebsd to use two cpus oh, i rebuilt the kernel etc, and from a cold boot the mboard picks up both cpu's and so does freebsd and they both work nicely.
Try disabling ACPI as I have seen bugs with some Pentium III era SMP ACPI BIOSes.
Also, it would be nice to see diffs of the mptable and acipdump -t output in both situations.
