Hello,
I and Anatoly Gritsenko found small issue with IBM xSeries 440.
The box have 2 hardware CPU, HTT enabled in BIOS, but
FreeBSD 6.1-RC can't find second CPU.
Issue resolved by increase MAX_APICID in
/sys/i386/i386/local_apic.c from 16 to 32.
Also I change MAXCPU in /sys/i386/include/param.h
from 16 to 32.
After this changes all processors was found.
Verbose boot available at
http://mstu.atomnet.ru/BSD/dmesg.boot
Another small issue was GENERIC kernel contains
device isp, but don't containes device ispfw.
So FreeBSD boot stoped in isp device.
Special thanks to joint-mind of #bsd-unix at RUSNet.
