I'm trying to get 3.9 to run on a Sun Ultra 40. This is a dual single core machine.
I installed the 3.9 bse system (non multi processor kernel), and it runs fine. I downloaded the bsd.mp kernel (AMD64) copied it to /, rebooted, and entered bsd.mp at the boot prompt. It started up, but locked up solid during hardware detection. Did I do something wrong here? -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
