yea, it's kind of important, as thats the multi-cpu probes...
but here it goes by pretty fast. booting with -d might help, I can't
remember.  How far does it get in the boot process?

That's what I've got here.  I can boot and get the second cpu
running, but it panics when I startx.  I'm going to get another
(single cpu) box to use as workstation so I can re-configure
this smp box for a real hacking platform in the next couple weeks...
panics are still hard to deal with under X ;-).

In the first stages, I had to do a full hardware reset of the machine
to get both cpus recognized.  The boot messages from the bios should
say something to the effect that both processors are there.  The warm
boot would only show one processor.  I haven't seen that in a while
now, so I think that's been fixed...
