Hello,

ISTR I've seen the same dmesg-oddities on all
NetBSD-newer-than-1.6-machines I've set up so far; I used to blame my
stupidity, though. I'm curios what the reason for that is. Apart from
that: Shouldn't the two cores provide two logical processor each, thanks
to HT?

Cheers,

Dennis den Brok
