To take advantage of this on your FreeBSD 5.3 (and only 5.3!) SMP system, run the following commands as root: # touch /boot/kernel/SMP # freebsd-update fetch (this should mention downloading a new /boot/kernel/SMP file) # freebsd-update install (likewise, this should mention installing /boot/kernel/SMP) # echo 'bootfile="SMP"' >> /boot/loader.conf and reboot. You should now find that `uname -ri` outputs "5.3-SECURITY SMP". Note again that this does not apply to any FreeBSD releases other than 5.3. Colin Percival
