SMP kernels for install	&status.unknown;		From the ideas - page. Right now we only install a UP kernel, for performance - reasons. We should be able to package both a UP and SMP kernel - into the release bits, and have sysinstall install both. It - should also select the correct one for the target system and - make that the default on boot. The easiest way to do this would - be to have sysinstall boot an SMP kernel and then look at the - hw.ncpu sysctl. The only problem is being able to have - sysinstall fall back to booting a UP kernel for itself if the - SMP one fails. This can probably be 'faked' by setting one of - the SMP-disabling variables in the loader. But in any case, the - point is to make the process Just Work for the user, without the - user needing to know arcane loader/sysctl knobs. SMP laptops are - here, and we should be ready to support SMP out-of-the-box.
