Compaq Proliant 5500 Rebooting ?!

[Jason Klotzer]

Hi,

I recently installed 5.2.1 on a newly purchased (off of ebay) 2x 500mhz Compaq Proliant 5500 w/ stock parts. As mentioned by a few lists, I got a copy of the SmartStart 5.50 CD, booted off of that, setup the machine as a "Unixy" machine, then installed FreeBSD. 

Everything went smoothly, until I start cvsup'ing my ports and the machine reboots. Not only does the machine reboot under that condition, but it reboots ever so many minutes (~30-45 minutes). What could the problem be? I read another list subscribers similar problem and he solved it by changing the Software Recovery option in his bios or something of this sort? My problem is I can't find a way to directly access the BIOS config... anyone have anything? 

Also, in my dmesg, the output only displays one processor? Is this because the default kernel does not include SMP support? I was attempting to rebuild the kernel, yet the default listed smp as an option...? What's up?!
