Hi Mike,

If you have the kernel source code installed, you can read
/usr/src/sys/<arch>/conf/GENERIC, to see what options are in the GENERIC
kernel. I'm pretty sure that most FreeBSD releases don't have the SMP
option in the generic kernel, but I haven't used them all, so I can't be
sure. :)

HTH,
