They are built into the ACPI table in your BIOS, so the OS "just finds them" when it reads the processor SMP table information from there. If you are installing a multicore CPU in a motherboard that's not expecting it, you will need to update your BIOS at the same time so that the processor is reported to the OS. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-smp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
