Your dmesg is of the uniprocessor kernel, so you will only see cpu0 listed.
The amd64 kernel will only address 3GB of it, including video RAM, unless BIGMEM is enabled. Doing so requires a custom kernel -- but this flag is disabled by default because larger memory is not production-ready, and is not recommended except for developers working on memory management.

...I can take a look at the BSD.MP, any suggestions would be appreciated as I only run SMP and Quad motherboards (Tyan S4881).

The ramdisk kernel (bsd.rd) used for install should have discovered multiple CPUs, and should have installed the MP kernel (bsd.mp) as /bsd, and the uniprocessor kernel (bsd) as /bsd.sp.

Will send this dmesg out to OpenBSD folks, but believe I will get more help on these forums (from past experience with OpenBSD folks) Keep in mind I bought the 3 CD set to support these guys.

Several things that may help, regarding sending anything to the "OpenBSD folks".
- You need not continue to try to install 4.6-release, which was built in July of last year. You will want to install a recent snapshot, which are already well ahead of 4.7-release, coming out in May.
- Don't send a dmesg to the dmesg@ address, which is only used as a library by developers of varying configuration combinations. Since you are interested in support, submit a -current dmesg from a recent snapshot (inline, not as an attachment) to the misc@ mailing list, asking for assistance.
- Be extremely clear in exactly what the problem is you are having. I've been having a great deal of trouble reading your posts and trying to determine your situation. Your dmesg below has ACPI enabled, and your problem description of a disabled ACPI environment reads like operator error to me, but I am unclear on exactly what is or is not happening for you now.
- You will get much further by phrasing your questions to misc@ in the form of "what do I need to understand to move forward? What else would you recommend I try?"
