If you install FreeBSD 6.1 then you can choose between a generic kernel without SMP support and an SMP enabled kernel. These kernels are named "GENERIC" and "SMP". If you missed that point you can install it subsequently: # mount /cdrom # cd /cdrom/6.1-RELEASE/kernels # ./install SMP # echo 'kernel="SMP"' >> /boot/loader.conf # shutdown -r now Regards Björn
