the test development branch is called sommerfeld_i386mp. the i386 in
the name is quite significant. there is no SMP development branch for
sparc. all the -current (and probably netbsd-1-6) does is to spin up
the second cpu. that's all. you may want to check the following url to
compare various ports' status on SMP, etc. :
