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. --=20 Khairil Yusof --=-d7U0atpxJx7VDRr5q4pJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+HCK7DAqnLW/+/X8RAu0hAKCrCYGS4loQKbdnKgo/lWRghzT6EgCglp8v P852c0mvUs0rRGG6uO9g/Jo= =QMqc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-d7U0atpxJx7VDRr5q4pJ-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
