GENERIC boots up just fine:

gert@epsilon:/home/gert$ uname -a
NetBSD epsilon 4.99.37 NetBSD 4.99.37 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Nov 22 15:30:52 CET 2007 gert@epsilon:/home/sparc64.current/obj/home/src-current/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/GENERIC sparc64

- so this *is* SMP related.

(Mainly meant as a data point, so Martin can sort out what works and
what doesn't)

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking
