Rick,

Please summarize to the list if the ultimate answer doesn't come out here.
I've been contemplating Solaris x86 on one of our older MP Compaq's.  .  .

Hi,
	I am having troubles activating 3 of the 4 CPU's in my compaq
proliant 6000. the compaq bios intializes all 4 CPU's but Solaris only will
fire up 1 of the processors. 
here is what I get when i run these comands

# psrinfo

I took a clip from the messages log during the boot process to show that it
only fires up 1 
processor.
