Subject:   MTRR support in SMP kernels?

I was running FreeBSD a while ago and I could never get SMP working.

Here is my system:

Dual PII 333 on a Gigabyte-686DX board (I think)
128 MB Ram
No SCSI

I would compile an SMP kernel and it would boot O.K but when I tried to
compile anything or use the processors intensively, it would crash with an
error like "boot on CPU1."

I did email the list before, but no one had any ideas, so now I am running
linux on the box and something interesting happens.  I have to compile
MTRR support to set up all the MTRRs on both the Pentium II CPU's because
apparently my BIOS doesn't set up all the CPU's.

Does FreeBSD have some kind of support like this?  I would really like to
ditch linux and run FreeBSD again, so if anyone has any ideas, they would
be greatly appricated.
