when I made attempts last fall, both -current and netbsd-5 amd64 paniced
during boot on the Quanta QSSC-S4r I have access to through my employer
(Intel).  these are quad-socket 7500-series Xeon machines, with 8 HT (16
cpus) per socket.  our group runs Linux on them, with only one processor
populated. (linux 2.6.35 or thereabouts.)
