SMB or SMP?

I haven't used 6.2 myself, but I'm guessing SMP for Symetric
MultiProcessing.  SMB usually refers to Server Message Block, which is
something else altogether unrelated to the kernel.

So if you have a uniprocessor computer, and you run a multiprocessing
kernel, what happens?  Well, to tell the truth, I really don't know. 
But maybe kernel panics...
