1.5.x releases do not contain SMP support.

NetBSD-current contains machine-independant SMP support, as well as
hardware-specific support for (at least) alpha and vax; a branch in
the CVS repository (not a "patch") contains support for SMP on i386.

For more information on NetBSD-current, see:

http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/

To build your own i386 SMP kernel, check out -current syssrc from cvs
or anoncvs, and then do:

        cd .../sys/arch/i386
        cvs update -rsommerfeld_i386mp_1

which will use that branch in the arch/i386 subtree only; then build a
GENERIC.MP or GENERIC.MPDEBUG kernel.

See arch/i386/MP-UPDATING for information about the last time the
branch was brought up to date with -current.
