Many thanks for all the info.

A status report:

1) The SMP kernel doesn't compile if you have:

options         "I586_FAST_BCOPY"

   (Not serious, I just removed it)

2) The machine locks up shortly after the SMP kernel load:

FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard
Boot cpunumber=0x0
[ machines freezes ]

I presume this means that the machine is reporting the number of
CPUs in a non-recognised format. APIC supports appears to be
enabled in the BIOS.
