My autoboot file is doing the "START -R" (i.e. recovery) recommended in the
AutoRestart/iX manual.

Have you tested this?  The reason I ask is while I was watching the console of
my autorestarting machine, it was PDC that said the extra CPUs were disabled,
i.e. way before the ISL START command.

Hmmm, unless START NORECOVERY has the power to override the PDC CPU status.  I
may try that later today to see what happens (I am currently booted with just
one CPU enabled).  Since it takes 20 minutes to reboot this machine, please
stop me if you've already tested this yourself.  :-)
