You have to build a special kernel for that. See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for details. Remember to check the version of the SMP spec. you're using (generally settable in the BIOS). You want 1.4. If you get troubles, just post you config file, dmesg and mptable here. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #75: Tue Nov 2 21:03:12 CET 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
