>Description:
On a 16 processor/16 GB RAM AMD64 compatible machine FreeBSD halts with "Too many segments in the physical address map, giving up".

>How-To-Repeat:
I don't know whether it's general, or only limited to this machine, but trying to boot FreeBSD with 16 processors could trigger the problem.
>Fix:
In src/sys/amd64/amd64/machdep.c:
-#define PHYSMAP_SIZE    (2 * 8)
+#define PHYSMAP_SIZE    (2 * 16)

After this:
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 16 CPUs
 cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID:  0
 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID:  1
 cpu2 (AP): APIC ID:  2
 cpu3 (AP): APIC ID:  3
 cpu4 (AP): APIC ID:  4
 cpu5 (AP): APIC ID:  5
 cpu6 (AP): APIC ID:  6
 cpu7 (AP): APIC ID:  7
 cpu8 (AP): APIC ID:  8
 cpu9 (AP): APIC ID:  9
 cpu10 (AP): APIC ID: 10
 cpu11 (AP): APIC ID: 11
 cpu12 (AP): APIC ID: 12
 cpu13 (AP): APIC ID: 13
 cpu14 (AP): APIC ID: 14
 cpu15 (AP): APIC ID: 15

I didn't try with i386, but I guess that has the same problem.
