>Description:
I am trying to do a clean install of i386 FreeBSD. When I boot FreeBSD 6 Beta 5 from the install CD I get the message "kernel panic: cannot alloc virtual memory" before I even get to the main menu in the installation program.

System Configuration:

Asus SK8N Motherboard
AMD Opteron Model 240 Processor
NVIDIA Nforce 3 Pro 150 chipset
1024MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6800GT AGP graphics w/256MB GDDR3 memory
>How-To-Repeat:
Just boot from the install CD normally without using any extra options       
>Fix:
