I don't have access to anything other than single processor i386
machines at the moment.

That is about to change. I'll say more about that soon. 8-)

Sun's code has amd64 support in it. I haven't ported that because
I don't have a machine that I can test on. And since the port involves
crashing the OS a LOT, I need to be able to have a serial console and
the ability to power the machine down many times  per hour.
