run "mptable"

and put the output values into the kernel description.
Be sure to _uncomment_ out the values, for some reason mptable
shows the values commented out.

Have tried this on a few systems, comes right up!

   Hi there,
   I upgraded from FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE to FreeBSD 4.1-RC.
   I wanna get a Dual PII400MHz. So I thought I'll check and see if someone can
   answer my questions here. I'm checking the kernel where is says SMP and
   there are few lines.

   # 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

   Is this all I need to add if I wanna use a Dual Processors? If yes how can I
   find out the number of busses, number of IO APICs and number of INTs? I'll
   appreciate it if someone could answer me.

   Thanks,

   Nader
