Use 1.4.

You have failed to tell your BIOS that you have a second CPU; therefore it
has failed to configure the APIC ID on the second CPU, or otherwise identify
it in the mptable so that FreeBSD can see it.

A correctly configured BIOS will show two processors with different APIC ID's
under the "Processors:" section in the mptable.

Fix this, and your system should "just work", unless your clock doesn't
go through your APIC, in which case you will need to twiddle a bit.
