I figure I have to hook it in, in either /etc/rc, /etc/rc.i386 or > /etc/rc.local (which could very well call /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smp.sh) but > I don't know if anything in the present startup sequence is required > before turning on multiprocessing. actually I suggested that location because there are some things that need to be done first, but we have NO idea what! See the code marked SMP_AUTOSTART in init_smp.c for what doesn't work. I picked the above location as a point that is at the end of everything, without explaining why... I believe proper form now is to ignore /etc/rc.local, /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xxx.sh scripts are run by /etc/rc. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
