Currently, only FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT supports SMPs.  -CURRENT is a
system which is still under development, and which is not as stable as
2.2.  I can't say whether it supports your particular board.  Try
signing up for FreeBSD-smp if you're interested and prepared to put up
with problems from time to time.
