Posted a reply to this a while back (check the archives). After installation you just need to recompile the kernel (see the freebsd handbook). You just need to uncomment/enable these options in the GENERIC kernel configuration like so: #cpu I486_CPU cpu I586_CPU cpu I686_CPU options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O recompile and reboot: #cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep SMP should give you this message: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! If you're curious, you can run top. It will have a CPU column. -- Khairil Yusof <kaeru@pd.jaring.my> [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+HCK7DAqnLW/+/X8RAu0hAKCrCYGS4loQKbdnKgo/lWRghzT6EgCglp8v P852c0mvUs0rRGG6uO9g/Jo= =QMqc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
