Re: 11.2-RC3 powerpc CD image does not boot on PowerMac G4

Maybe it's the 32-bit SMP stuff? I certainly have not tried running a 
32-bit SMP system in a long time -- has anyone else? All the SMP focus 
lately has been on 64-bit systems. The timing sounds like about when it 
would spin up your secondary CPU.
