Why do you want to waste a dual cpu motherboard on this? OpenBSD does
not support the second CPU... not that you'll need it unless your name
server is increadable busy. I'd use that machine elsewhere with an os
that will take full advantage of it, and use another system w/ OpenBSD
as the name server... this just seems like a waste of good hardware to
me...
