Very interesting! Thank you for the tip about setting hw.physmem. I did not
know that could be done.

I reinstalled the two 4GB dimms and I can confirm that I can boot the T500,
with SMP, when I use hw.physmem="4G".

I tried hw.physmem="6G" and it did not boot, unless SMP was disabled.

I'm perplexed as to why hw.physmem="4G" will work, but one 4GB dimm will not.

Either way, this is a much better workaround and hopefully gives useful
debugging data.
