An update:  I added options HTT to the kernel and disabled HTT in the
bios.  System boots and runs fine, still with 4 CPUs.


I'd really like to be able to use this system /without/ HTT, but WITH
4.8-RELEASE.  (it's been suggested that in 5.1 I might have better luck,
being able to disable the additional CPUs.  Alas, my environment for this
server outright /requires/ 4.x.  4.8-R until we later move it to 4.9-R.

Anyone?
