Make sure your ROM BIOS setup has the OS type configured for Linux.

Does it work if only 1 processor is installed?

The next four lines in the boot log should be something like:

FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs
 cpu0 (BSP): apic id:  0, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000
 cpu1 (AP):  apic id:  1, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000
 cpu2 (AP):  apic id:  2, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000
 cpu3 (AP):  apic id:  3, version: 0x00050014, at 0xfee00000

Do you see any of these lines?
