Hello,

	My HP Netserver which currently runs FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE,  has a
Dual Pentium 166/MMX chipset.  I'm not entirely sure if FreeBSD uses both
processors,  is there a way to check?  Does FreeBSD automatically detect
both processors,  since at boot up,  it specifies only one.

FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Tue Dec 30 22:58:39 PST 1997
    root@dragon.ulink.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/rev4.dragon-sean
CPU: Pentium (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x52c  Stepping=12
  Features=0x3bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC>
real memory  = 234881024 (229376K bytes)
avail memory = 224567296 (219304K bytes)

	In the kernel I use,  I specify:

cpu             "I586_CPU"
