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