Hi all

I have a Dell 610 Precision with dual PIII 550 Xeons.
It has two 9GB SCSI disks and a SCSI CD-ROM

On installing 6.0-RELEASE and the default SMP kernel the system would
hang at:
...
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec
Waitin

Which on a complete boot reads "Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to
settle" - i.e. right before probing SCSI devices.

After upgrading to 6-STABLE (6.1-RC) yesterday, it boots and starts both
CPUs successfully.

I haven't seen any reports of problems with SMP on this hardware since
this one:
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=40044

So perhaps this PR can now be closed?

ciao
  Mark
