I'm running FreeBSD/i386 8.0 with SMP enabled on my netbook:
FreeBSD 8.0-BETA3 #2 r196558: Fri Aug 28 01:52:55 MDT 2009
CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz (1596.01-MHz 686-class CPU)

AMD Features=0x100000<NX>

TSC: P-state invariant
real memory = 1073741824 (1024 MB)

...
And with 8, all the internal devices are supported on my EEEPC 900A.
