>Description:
I'm unable to even boot the FreeBSD 5.4,6.0 and 6.1 install CD (i386 version).  I have an 
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (333 MHz) with an Nvidia nForce 2 based motherboard (ASRock K7NF2-RAID) and 2x512Mb DDR 3200 module of memory. The boot cd dies with:
   panic: pmap_mapdev: couldn't alloc kernel virtual memory
This happens right after the agp0 load message.  I tried disabling ACPI with no luck.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
If I have one DDR 3200 512 Mb  - this problem disappears. If I have one DDR 3200 512 Mb and DDR 3200 256 Mb - no problem. If I have one DDR 3200 512 Mb, DDR 3200 256 Mb and DDR 3200 128 Mb - I have this problem.
