That would be *very* interesting to hear the results of.

Anyhow, I just tried an updated -current, and built GENERIC.MP. Booted the
netbsd.gdb I got, and this is the latest traceback:


----

I suspect this is all because the other cpus aren't starting. I have never
checked how that code works, nor do I have a good grasp on Alpha MP
systems in general, so if someone have a clue, they are very welcome to
help me out here. Otherwise I might try to figure out what is happening...
