That's unexpected. The installer code around this is fairly simple, it checks sysctl hw.ncpu, if >1 cpu is seen then it adds bsd.mp to the list of files to fetch by default, then as long as that was fetched it installs it as /bsd. I use rEFInd to dual-boot on my laptop and don't have problems with that, so I think the cause is different. > 2) I wrote a driver that allows me to control the display backlight using > wsconsctl. > Building the kernel is the only way I know to add this driver. Fair enough, that's a good reason :)
