I've heard that you can do the install with a uniprocessor kernel and then
run with a SMP kernel without problems. Unfortunately, that hasn't worked
for me.
I guess another alternative is to go buy the Applixware CD from
freebsdmall.com. That's what I plan to do. As long as I know it won't
suffer from the same SMP-related issues as StarOffice. I don't know who
could confirm it'll be fine, but I'd like to hear from someone.
Over and out.

|a. install -current
|b. boot a uniprocessor kernel (just your SMP kernel config with the SMP removed)
