Just because a machine has multiple processors and multiple NICs, doesn't make it capable of operating as two machines in the same case. There are a lot of different things, like the memory and I/O bus, the 8254 clock, etc., which have to be programmed differently for different OSs. To run two virtual machines on a single real machine, you are going to need some software assistance, e.g. a product like VMWare. -- Terry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

To do server partitioning, you'll have to acquire a Unisys ES7000, IBM zSeries or comparable system. Standard x86 multi-proc systems (As you would buy from Dell, for example) do not support this. You can however run Win2k inside VMware on a FreeBSD machine. This option is even more flexible than partitioning as it lets you turn the "VM" off and reacquire the resources that were tied up by it.

RE: Multi BOOT
Hello, Does anyone know a way of simultaneously booting FreeBSD with Linux or Win2K with a dual-processor and dual NIC server ? I can set the processor affinity on the Win2k, but I am having trouble configuring the FreeBSD to use a particular processor and a particular NIC.
