Hi,
I am using the FreeBSD-4.0 snapshot from 3rd January 2000. This version
used to panic when configured as an SMP but with less CPUs than there are
actually in the machine (I had 4 processors but only wanted to use 1). Someone
mailed me patches for fixing this problem (attached below). If these haven't
been applied already, can someone please apply them so that the FreeBSD-4.0
release scheduled for January 15th has this bug removed.
