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.

Fair enough, that's a good reason :)
