Hi,

I've been using FreeBSD for some time but I've never found a way to enable
the local APIC on my system (UP, Intel P3/450 (Katmai)).
What I'd like to know is whether there is a reason for the APIC not to be
used on UP systems (like Linux does, for example) or if not, what I would need
to do to change that.

Sincerely,

Ralph Schülke
