Compaq Proliant 2xPPro hangs on boot

[Chris Boyd]

I was not able to find the APIC config information on the HP/Compaq web 
site, but I was able to restore the server config info partition on the 
hard disk using the diagnostic floppies.  When I run the diagnostics on 
the second CPU, it fails, so apparently I have a bad CPU.  Back to the 
garage sales to look for a 200MHz PPro stepping 9 CPU :-)

For completeness of the archives, the system is a Compaq Proliant 850R, 
not 800 as I originally posted.
