I don't understand why you have chosen AMD64? You only have 2 GB memory, which can be adressed under i386 too and you can avoid a lot of problems. Today, I am not quite sure about AMD64 because with PAE ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension#FreeBSD), you have a far better opportunity to address memory above 4 GB.
