Is that a 4/600 with one SM51 or two? OpenBSD is documented as not
even booting if more than one CPU is present (this would explain why
SM100s fail, btw).

One thing I want to do is to try to port the SMP code from FreeBSD
into Net- and OpenBSD (currently, FreeBSD is i386 only, but hopefully
they have worked around the widespread single-processor nature of the
BSD kernels). This won't happen for a while, though (serious amounts
of copious free time required).
