Hi,
I tried it on my 4400/160, but it doesn't boot at all. It panics early,
just after printing "avail memory"  "not exclusive lock holder unlocking".
It seems an MP kernel won't work at all on this box. The processor number
printed in the panic message is very large, it's possible that some structure
isn't properly initialized in this case.
