Boot error SMP

[Hans van Leest]

I can boot boot from a SMP a 5.3 stable kernel when loader.conf 
contains: kern.smp.disabled=1.
Otherwise it's crashing.
But how do I continue?
I've tried CURRENT, only I've got a problem with booting in single user. 
Proberbly it's the iir driver.
Thanx in advance

Hans
