> > DOes freebsd supoort SMP? Yes. There is a working SMP /usr/src/sys code tree that can be SUP'ed or CTM'ed. You do a normal CVS checkout, then you add: options SMP # enable SMP options NCPU=2 # or whatever max you want To your normal -current config file, config, makedepend, make, and install the SMP kernel. Then rebbot. You are running SMP. You should be running -current already, then join the SMP mailing list before doing this. You can join the list with the following shell command from the system where you want to get the mail: echo "subscribe freebsd-smp" | mail majordomo@freebsd.org (just like any other FreeBSD mailing list -- maybe we need shell scripts to ship with the system: "subscribe" and "unsubscribe". 8-)). You can ask about the SUP and CTM marker addresses on the SMP list, once you are on it. An alternate method, if you have a freefall account, is to FTP the CVS tree from /f/smp.
