mk> The question I have. Does Intel CPU have HTT in amd64
mk> mode?

jk> Yes, AFAIK.

mk> Would you tell me how to enable HTT?

mk> I've set 2 parameters
mk> hyperthreading_allowed=3D"1"
mk> hlt_logical_cpus=3D"0"
mk> but FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE does not start logical CPU

Please check if your CPU supports multiple HTT "logical CPUs"
in the first place.  If it does, your dmesg output should be
something like the snippet below:
