I think SMP kernels REQUIRE at least 2 CPUs. See
http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html
Follow the link to getting started

and you'll see:
Important facts:
The FreeBSD SMP kernel is BETA LEVEL software, use with caution!
The motherboard must be Intel MP Spec. 1.1 or 1.4 compatible.
The SMP kernel WILL NOT WORK on a uniprocessor motherboard.
This is ambigious. But I think I read that it requires 2 CPUs
somewhere else... You might email to the guy who was maintaining these
pages for clarification...
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
