I've never done anything to configure the logical cpus on mine; they just showed up unexpectedly when i switched from stable to current. Now I have: slytherin ttyp1:hawk>sysctl -a | grep cpu kern.threads.virtual_cpu: 4 kern.ccpu: 1948 kern.smp.cpus: 4 hw.ncpu: 4 machdep.cpu_idle_hlt: 1 machdep.hlt_cpus: 10 machdep.hlt_logical_cpus: 1 machdep.logical_cpus_mask: 10 It launches four logical cpus all on it's own.
