Morning all ...

	I've been trying to get FreeBSD to go SMP on this box for ages now
... since *BSD isn't supported by IBM, I got one of our linux guys over
here to help me out ... we created an SMP boot floppy, to see if we'd get
a hang using it, and we didn't *but*, it did give us a warning:

WARNING: MP table in the EBDA can be UNSAFE

	does this mean anything to anyone?

	As part of the Linux boot sequence, it also told us:

Intel MultiProcessor Specifications v1.4
	VirtualWire Compatibility mode.

	if that also means anything?
