Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions
about:

[much deleted]

Multiprocessor Pentium and Pentium Pro systems.  (Though they should
                run fine using one processor only.)

[end paste]



I personally have no experience with the multiprocessor boards and NetBSD
the only one I have access to runs Windows NT. (I know, I know, but it's a
job and I have to pay the rent somehow)

It's a Micronics motherboard Dual P5/133 PCI/EISA

I have to reinstall NT this weekend anyway, so maybe I'll give NetBSD a
try and let you know if i can get it running.

Which reminds me:

anyone think i would have any trouble mounting a SCSI MO drive and
installing off of that? It would make for alot less pain than floppies :)
