Greetings...........

I've recently installed FreeBSD 3.0 and am using the SMP kernel.
The machine in question is running 2 P-Pros @ 200 mhz, with 256 megs
ram and a SCSI disk..

I'm a bit confused, however, as to some of the messages that I see in
the kernel bootup.....

What I see here is no evidence of 2 CPU's, yet I know that the SMP
kernel won't work without at least 2. Is it just my imagination, or is
this computer only making use of one CPU, or is there another way to
find out about this ?

I'd be most grateful if anyone could inform me here............
TIA,
