Hmm, do you have easy access to the net ??
Then go to current.freebsd.org and pick the latest snap, the latest couble
of days has been quiet :)
Install it like usual, and you have a UP -current system. When you
have that running, build a SMP capable kernel by using the
SMP-GENERIC file as master. Compile and install in /kernel, remember
to backup the old kernel just in case..
Reboot and you should be running SMP, if your board is supported that
is...
