See if FreeBSD/i386 sees both processors.  In particular, see if 
FreeBSD/i386 detects ACPI or the APIC.

See if there is a newer BIOS for that motherboard.

See if ACPI is disabled in ROM setup.

My theory is that FreeBSD/amd64 is OK and that BIOS for whatever reason 
it not presenting ACPI correctly.
