Scott,

I checked and doing several searches through the sysctl options do not 
see any such option as you list above, > set hw.apic.0.disable=1

I am running amd64, is this perhaps just an option for i386?
I do see a kern.smp.disabled: 0, would this instead be for amd64?

Exactly how on boot do I break in to enter this option?
Or do I set it, then boot?
Then afterwards reset then boot again?
