and in /boot/loader.conf:
kernel="dwp_smp"
#kernel="dwp_up"
For old times' sake, I also have /boot/kernel as a symlink to
/boot/dwp_smp.
I used to have a more extensive patch which created that symlink at
kernel install time so you wouldn't need to modify loader.conf, and
the system would boot whichever kernel you installed last. I removed
that part because I couldn't be bothered to make it work correctly
with all combinations of make install / make reinstall and
pre-existing /boot/kernel directory or symlink.
