Only note I have (patch looks great!) is that instead of removing SMP, you probably want to say that 'options SMP' should be added to include support for multiple processors. Note that SMP is present in GENERIC on other architectures such as Alpha and sparc64. There is also an 'SMP' kernel config for i386 and amd64. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
