[SunHELP] Six processors?

[Dave Garten]

Yep.  Drill is one CPU per board or two CPU per board.  I have seen odd 
numbers (3, 5, 7) function, but I'm not sure if it uses them all.  The S in 
SMP is symmetric and Sun descries their multiprocessor machines as MPs 
(without symmetric).  I'll be dipped if I know how to tell if its firing on 
an uneven number.  The software will find 'em all in dmesg, but I presume 
that isn't definitive.

Anybody know?
