This question come sup so often, I believe FreeBSD should do this by default, install the proper kernel unless something different is selected by the user.
how would you define "correct"? have all systems boot with a SMP kernel by default so that machines with multiple processors automatically detect all available CPU's? then what about all the users that are using uni-proc systems? i think the current state of building a system w/o SMP enabled is great. it's not that hard to do a: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=SMP make installkernel KERNCONF=SMP reboot this is all covered in the FreeBSD handbook, which all new admin's/users should be reading and following closely anyway ;) -pete
