Hi,

unfortunately the mptable is usually static info in the BIOS, and won't
look any different whether the IO APIC is enabled or not.  The suspicious 
lines are:

>fxp0: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 0x02 int a irq 10 on 
pci0.11.0

>fxp1: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 0x02 int a irq 11 on 
pci0.12.0

according to the mptable:

>		INT	active-lo       level	     1	  11	      2	  16
>		INT	active-lo       level	     1	  10	      2	  17

these should show up on INTs 17 & 16, NOT 10 & 11, if the IO APIC is enabled.
Look for options like MP version 1.4
