So, am I understanding this correctly that booting with
kmdb and patching "use_mp/W 0"  boots and install ok
(but only one cpu is usable)?

But the alternate workaround (remove/rename the
/platform/i86pc/ucode directory, without setting
use_mp/W0) still results in these ata timeout errors?

That should have the same effect as patching "use_mp/W0" in kmdb.
