just a quicky

installing freebsd on some nice sgi 1200s

freebsd works a treat, except  the motherboard

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.
