I downgraded from MacOS 9.1 to MacOS 8.6 and processor 1 is no longer
stuck. Thanks Tim, I would have never thought of trying this.

As I recall, you may have to use the quik bootloader rather than
BootX to successfully use SMP on Power Surge Macs like the 9500MP.
Alternatively, it might help to switch to an old version of MacOS
since I think the BootX problem was caused by newer MacOS versions
partially initializing the CPU in a manner which interferes with
Linux.
