# I have a dual Pentium 166 Tyan board with processors. My question is

# I have seen a lot of discussion about SMP but no where does it tell you how

# just describes what SMP is.
Get a copy of the sources. Edit the top level Makefile. Make sure the
SMP=1
line is uncommented. Recompile your kernel. Install it. Boot it.
For building a kernel, there is a HowTo available.
G'day!
