I have been told to go to http://netbsd.org/zoularis ;)

Hmm...
Does that mean NetBSD -CURRENT can't "utilize" SMP i386 machine but there is
another branch of NetBSD that can 'utilize" SMP i386 machine?
What is the maximum number of SMP i386 processors currently supported by
that "special" i386 MP branch?

Please don't flame me. I came from FreeBSD land. I thought, FreeBSD can work
on a quad Xeon, NetBSD would be able to do so too ;)
