Proliant on a 6500

Sorry to reply to myself, but I wanted to expand this to -stable and add
some more info...
See the original post at the bottom of this msg.

I just took the Smart 2/P and put it in slot1 (one of the shared Eisa/PCI
slots.)

Now the Dmesg output shows the "SMP: AP CPU" lines in a different order...

They were:
SMP: AP CPU# 3 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU# 1 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU# 2 Launched!

now they are:
SMP: AP CPU# 1 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU# 2 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU# 3 Launched!

I don't think this is a SMP problem, but rather a SMP/Smart2 combined
problem...

Has anyone got FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE working on a Compaq Proliant 6500 with a
Smart2/p?
