Thank you both. My u-boot understanding is minimal (although with any 
dive into NetBSD on a new device I'll learn something) but I assume 
coremask is handled by u-boot to initialize the cpu before booting the 
NetBSD kernel.
With that param, sure enough I see another core in dmesg:
    [   1.0000000] cpu1 at cpunode0 core 1: 500.00MHz
Also checks out with top -1.

For a quick test of multiprocessor, I did a couple simple builds (but 
couldn't try make -j 2 on anything in pkgsrc) with no crashes. But I had 
a hard freeze pretty quickly with 2 tmux windows each running find / (no 
freeze with uniprocessor).

I started with stable but I'm willing to adventure into current as long 
as this device has my attention...and patience. Wow, the usb stick I 
have on it is slow. I had to let it go overnight to install comp.tgz and 
pkgsrc.tgz to play with some minimal packages.
