In my experiences with FreeBSD 4-4.8R, you have to uncomment two lines in
the kernel config file.
# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
optionsSMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
optionsAPIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O
and then rebuildworld and kernel.
World because there are programs that will compile differently if there
are multiple CPU's (at least I think that's right!)
Kernel for obvious reason.

I think you're going to have to give more information than it doesn't
work if you expect anybody to attempt to offer advice.

type: dmesg |more
and look through the results. When my dual-cpu loads up, I see where
there 2nd CPU is acknowledged. Even doing a 'top' shows me which CPU is in
use for each program.
