Ok, thanks to those of you who got back to me right away. For future refrence (and any list search ;) what I had to do to get NetBSD to see the second proc was to change the system type to "UNIX/Linux". I had previously tried Windows, and Other but those don't work. Once the system type in the Compaq Proliant config tool was set to UNIX/Linux NetBSD saw the extra processor and spun it up. Now I can see both processors working in top. Thanks again for the help! -Sean
