There is NO way this machine will run an SMP kernel if it can't find the 
MP table!

Remove: options         DDB_UNATTENDED
this will allow you to see the problem, which will be a complaint about
the missing MP table.

If this machine used to run SMP, then the BIOS has been changed, or the
hardware has been changed or gone south...
