Is there anything special I need to do to make FreeBSD6.2 make
use of both CPU's on a Dell 2650 mother board?

	The boot messages indicate that the OS knows about the 2
CPU's.  Is this correct?

	I heard some rumors that one has to give some sort of
kernel directive but I haven't found anything yet.  This system
will be a secondary DHCP server.  Many thanks
