The machine has a couple of problems. I can workaround them, but : they're annoying. It occurs to me that the cause may be that it is an : SMP machine, by nature, but it only has 1 processor installed and the : kernel does not have SMP stuff turned on. : : The two problems are: : : 1. When I reboot the machine, it never actually reboots. The screen : clears after FreeBSD says it's going to reboot, but you never see the : BIOS again. Is this a Digital PC? I see this with all of my Digital-branded PCs (all uniprocessor though). I acutally have to do a shutdown -h or -p and power cycle it. It is a royal PITA (I cannot remote boot any of them). : Does anyone think that setting up a non-SMP kernel on an SMP motherboard : (but with only one processor installed) might have anything to do with : this? It should treat it like a UP machine (in theory).
