+<h2>SMP kernels for install</h2>
+<p><strong>Deadline</strong>: January 31</p>
+<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 before FreeBSD 6.1.</p>
