This sentence, other than the incorrect statement about FreeBSD
and SMP, is gramatically unparsable.
If you need the patches and are willing to work on the code, I
will forward them to you.
You will need a CVS tree (available via SUP from ftp.FreeBSD.ORG)
to be able to check out the 28 Oct 1994 source tree against which
the patches apply (that's right: FreeBSD has had SMP since 1994).
I can send you more recent patches against -current if you are
willing to hack on locore.s GDT initialization.
