Worked like a charm, and a good thing too, since I'm building one of these "monsters" myself... Given the technology that's out there, the most IA processors I've ever heard of in a machine would be the new Unisys CMP-7000 (Model number might be wrong) with up to either 32 or 64 processors per box... needless to say, it'll be a while before I get one of those as a workstation. *evil grin* --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
