I have a glaring fresh Dell PowerEdge 1600SC sitting underneath a dinning table
this moment to fulfill the server installation request from one of my friend.  It has two
2.8GHz Xeon with 2GB memory, ServerWorks chipsets,  and dual Intel GbE.  I
installed NetBSD to it to see if MP kernel was stable/useful with this hardware
combination, and found no immediate trouble after running parallel ./build.sh over
NFS mounted -current source tree.   SMP Linux kernel runs well too showing 4
processors (2 processor x 2 thread) inside.  A lengthy booting dmesg follows;
