Make sure that its not set to "graphics" (I assume that you're running a serial console) Also make sure your serial console cable is connected to the lowest numbered serial port. Try putting the cable on the other port -- the SRM console echos enough output to ALL ports to confuse you into thinking that you may be using the correct port when in fact you are not. FreeBSD will just use the lowest numbered port. > Processors > CPU 0 Alpha 21264B-4 833 MHz SROM Revision: V2.5.2.2.32 > Bcache size: 4 MB > > CPU 1 Alpha 21264B-4 833 MHz SROM Revision: V2.5.2.2.32 > Bcache size: 4 MB Nice machine. In order to get the second CPU working, I'm afraid you'll need to run -current. I'd start with the 5.0DP1 snapshot.
