 cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  0
 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  1
cpu0:  on acpi0
acpi_perf0:  on cpu0
acpi_perf0:  on cpu0
cpu1:  on acpi0
acpi_perf1:  on cpu1
acpi_perf1:  on cpu1
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!

Check Total Memory/RAM on FreeBSD

Get Memory/RAM information from dmesg boot message;


shell> grep -i 'memory' /var/run/dmesg.boot
