Did you have "term moni" enabled to see the log messages? I bet the
second OSPF process couldn't start because it couldn't find a "free" IP
interface to derive the router-id from. How many interfaces did you have
enabled with an IP address when you configured this box? You need at
least two to start two ospf processes.

Should not be platform dependant.. If you run into the problem, you
might see a message like this:

... reloaded after "write erase":

Router(config)#int lo0
Router(config-if)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
Router(config-if)#router ospf 1                     
Router(config-router)#network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
Router(config-router)#router ospf 2
Router(config)#
*Jul 30 07:22:55.351: %OSPF-4-NORTRID: OSPF process 2 cannot start.
There must be at least one "up" IP interface, for OSPF to use as router
ID
Router(config)#int lo1
Router(config-if)#ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255
Router(config-if)#router ospf 2
Router(config-router)#
