The document above is correct, but a little bit too low level. The 
bootscc.sh script, which is in the tools/scc directory will do all the 
required booting steps for you (exactly those listed in the tech note).

Telling the CPU driver to boot other cores works through a commandline 
argument to spawnd, as explained in my last email. It's the standard 
process in Barrelfish to boot other cores.
