Thanks - that does make it work with ACPI enabled, which is good. It
still won't boot SMP however - and despite the fcat it gets stuck
at the same point as it used to with ACPI I think it is a different problem.
Booting verbose SMP gives nothing after the stick - whereas with the ACPI
problem I used to get periodic "error 22" and "Unretryable Error" outputs.

But having ACPI working is good :-) Shame about the SMP :-(

-pete.

PS: On a separate partition I have placed Windows 2000 and that sees both
processors and runs SMP fine, so I am now more convinced than ever that this
is a FreeBSD problem.
