Hello. I have a Xeon system with 2 CPU's installed (dual-cores). Under
FreeBSD 6.2, a systat reported 4 CPUs in use and so did dmesg. 

Under FreeBSD 6.3, dmesg is reporting the 4 CPUs, but systat is only
reporting 2 CPUs (CPU 0 and CPU 2). 

How do I enabled the second cores on the CPU's or are they really
running but systat is not reporting the CPU load across the cores?

dmesg from 6.3 (snipped):

And sysctrl dev.cpu is interesting, the 4 CPUs are found but only 2
appear to be working (cx_usage is 100% or 0%):

Thanks for any pointers on this one!
