* I have 2*200PPro system running 2.2-STABLE and would like to use second * CPU as well... have successfully tested 3.0-CURRENT on monoprocessor 486 * system. I have upgraded about 20 systems a couple of months ago. It was pretty much just make world, make kernel, and reboot. They are now running a "97.12.26.08.00.00" system and have been pretty stable. One hitch was that the new "reboot" won't work with the old kernel (it will dump core and hang the system cold), so I had to make a backup of /sbin/reboot and use it to restart the system. Also, you will need to recompile a lot of ports due to changed utmp sizes, but I already had our 2.2-stable systems running with 16-byte usernames so this wasn't a problem for us.
