This is a dmesg from an Intel D830 box:

I think you do have a single processor with hyperthreading (logical
CPUs) and not a dual-core model.

To get hyperthreading up and running, you need to add:

machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1

to /etc/sysctl.conf or change it manually. Please google for the
security implications of doing this first though.
