There is a tweakable #define in the current boot code that tells the booting cpu the apic ID of the other cpu. Normally, this is 1, but if the boot cpu is #1 (or something else), then the boot cpu can start cpu #0 or whatever. It's not pretty but it should work enough to be usable. > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. > http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. > whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, In c. > Future will arrive by its own means, progress not so.
