Jeff,
As of 4.0-RELEASE:
The FreeBSD SMP kernel supports motherboards that follow the Intel MP
specification, version 1.4.
Although, as the man page says:
BUGS
That would be a good guess...
I don't have the knowledge to be able to compare it to Linux, although I
have seen it in action on FreeBSD and it works:)
