Hi, i just installed Freebsd 6.0-release in a dl380 g3 dual xeon 2.4, 
after the install i edited generic and commented out the I486 and I586, 
this is my dmesg,

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz (2390.70-MHz 686-class CPU)

so i only left I686

machine         i386
#cpu            I486_CPU
#cpu            I586_CPU
cpu             I686_CPU
ident           NAP

and i also added these for SMP (the I/O APIC line was already there)

# To make an SMP kernel, the next line is needed
options         SMP                     # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel

device          apic                    # I/O APIC

after that i rebooted with the new kernel, i dont see the second 
processor, HT is disabled in hte bios:

the steps above worked fine with Freebsd 4.8-STABLE on a similar 
machine, is there a new kernel options that im missing?
