Bummer :/  Hopefully FreeBSD gets SCSI support or NetBSD gets SMP support one day soon.  I'd help but I'm not a kernel hacker by any means and have absolutely no free time.

Linux has support for SMP and SCSI but I'm not a big penguin-fan and they use a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userland.

I guess I'll just run NetBSD with 1 CPU for now and hope...
I don't feel like dealing with Slowlaris and it's wierd issues.  I also don't feel like shelling out $250 for a dual-cpu license.

I've always prefered NetBSD for non-x86 machines, the machine-independant driver concept just plain rules.
