> What should I do to run Plan9 on a dual Pentium machine?

I have made a minimal set of changes to Plan 9 to get it running on dual
intel processors.  It's not fully "SMP" (all interrupts are taken on cpu0
except for local clocks) but it does run both user and kernel code on
multiple processors.

It's only been tested on my own system (GA-686DX, 2xPPro, NCR53c810 scsi),
where it's been running stably for a few months.  If you would like to
try it, please get in touch by e-mail.
