NetBSD/Alpha goes multiprocessor

Author: JT Smith

The NetBSD project’s Alpha is now functioning in multiuser mode (as reported by Slashdot). This is the first open BSD, outside of FreeBSD, to have SMP support — and is the first non-x86 BSD to have SMP support. Similar efforts on the part of OpenBSD may also benefit from the code involved, since it’s architecturally close to NetBSD.
