You can also try one of the ready-to-use GENERIC.MP kernels. For example,
look under ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/i386/binary/sets/
or ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/i386/binary/kernel/

The above is for 2.0.2 although you mentioned 2.0.

This question is targetted for others: By the way, why do we have two of
each kernels -- one gzipped and one tarred up?

3565473	 NetBSD-2.0.2/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.MP.gz
3565556	 NetBSD-2.0.2/i386/binary/sets/kern-GENERIC.MP.tgz

(I didn't look, but I assume the kernels are identical.)
