SUMMARY: 2nd CPU on a DS20

Well, after many attempts, nothing worked to get my second CPU "alive"
so I reinstalled the OS after making sure the 2nd CPU could be seen
at the boot prompt.

That seems to have done it as we now have;

 # psrinfo -v
Status of processor 0 as of: 06/09/99 10:12:25
  Processor has been on-line since 06/09/1999 09:01:12
  The alpha EV6 (21264) processor operates at 500 MHz,
        and has an alpha internal floating point processor.

as a further summary for the archives;

        - you need a second OSF-BASE license for SMP systems
        - try booting into genvmunix (boot -fi /genvmunix)... didn't help in my case
        - top does not support SMP systems
