   I think you probably can run an SMP kernel if you are running 3.0-current
   and build it with "options SMP_TIMER_NC" in the kernel config file:
   
=> I'll try the 3.0-970502-SNAP tomorrow (it is 22h00 here and
of course ftp.fr.freebsd.org (with a 34Mbits/s access) is down :-).
   
   According to the manual and/or actual BIOS actions, is it possible
   to choose from a range of IRQs for the secondary IDE controller?
   
   or do they claim your only choice is IRQ15?
   
=> I have the manual in an other building, I'll send the answer tommorrow.

PS: it seems to be a nice board (8 PCI slots are good because
I do some research in networking (IPv6 & ATM) and I have some
10/100Mbits/s Ethernet (DE500), FDDI (DEFPA), ATM (Efficient)
boards to put in) but I already had to change the place of the Adaptec
because Windows NT 4.0 wanted to find it on the first PCI bus
(FreeBSD didn't matter)...
