It's not a sysctl, it's a tunable (they share the same namespace and often overlap, but not always). kern.smp.disabled works too. You'll need to either put these settings into /boot/loader.conf, or manually set them in the loader by hitting the space bar during the 10 second timeout. 5.x had a nice menu for doing this, but it because controversial over silly reasons and was removed.
