Re: kernel compile question

GENERIC.MP builds a multiprocessor kernel, GENERIC builds a single-
processor kernel. Choose whichever is appropriate for your system.

Note that the file produced will always be named "bsd", so if you're
building an MP kernel, either install it as /bsd.mp, or configure the
boot loader to use "bsd".
