 With several people asking how to have a dual processor work within FreeBSD, I've decided to make the information available that you place within your kernel. If you have any questions please feel free to speak with me on IRC. Or E-mail: ghostrdr@defcon1.org

Kernel Section :

# 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

 As long as the above items are in your kernel, at that time you need to then recompile your kernel. After that, reboot your machine.
