Does FreeBSD support dual processor motherboards?
Just curious.  
I booted up a dual-Pentium with the boot floppy, 
and it appeared to only recognize a single CPU.

If it doesn't support 2 processors, does anyone
know of an operating system that does (besides
NT please)?  Or when FreeBSD will support it?
