If I boot it with hint.apic.0.disabled="1" - everything is ok, except the fact, that only one CPU is detected (from two ones). I tried kernels with SMP and without SMP - nothing changed, booting with apic kills OS.

Hello,

If you unload kernel and load it again at boot manually, can 335 boot?
I have one 336 with 5.4 that must use this trick to boot, otherwise
it hangs after ipfw2 initialized. On the other hand, I have 3 335 installed 
with 5.4 running SMP smoothly.
