-<h2>SMP kernels for install</h2>
-<p>Right now we only install a UP kernel, for
-  performance reasons.  We should be able to package both a UP and SMP
-  kernel into the release bits, and have sysinstall install both.  It 
-  should also select the correct one for the target system and make that
-  the default on boot.  The easiest way to do this would be to have
-  sysinstall boot an SMP kernel and then look at the hw.ncpu sysctl.  The
-  only problem is being able to have sysinstall fall back to booting a UP
-  kernel for itself if the SMP one fails.  This can probably be 'faked' by
-  setting one of the SMP-disabling variables in the loader.  But in any
-  case, the point is to make the process Just Work for the user, without
-  the user needing to know arcane loader/sysctl knobs.  SMP laptops are
-  here, and we should be ready to support SMP out-of-the-box.  This needs
-  to be resolved as soon as possible.</p>
