You need to configure a new kernel, and enable SMP.

The handbook gives you general instructions on configuring and building
a new kernel, so I won't repeat them here.

The options you should start with are:

# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed 
options SMP                     # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
options APIC_IO                 # Symmetric (APIC) I/O 
# Optionally these may need tweaked, (defaults shown): 
options NCPU=2                  # number of CPUs
options NBUS=4                  # number of busses
options NAPIC=1                 # number of IO APICs
options NINTR=24                # number of INTs

Boot your new kernel, and you should be in business.
