 That's interesting. I have just used the 6.2-STABLE-200704 from the
 6.2-STABLE-200704-i386-disc1.iso snapshot, escaped to the loader prompt
 used "set hint.apic.0.disabled=1", "set hw.physmem=3219454976" (for 4 GB
 RAM) and boot up fine. Especially without a kernel crash. The BIOS
 version is 78E3 v02.25. There is no additional hardware added.
 For 1 GB RAM I had to use "set hw.physmem=803561472".
