Subject:   panic at boot from kmem_malloc (4.3.0-RELEASE)
Message-ID:  <20010808124724.A42611@absinthe.condo.chico.ca.us>

I installed FreeBSD 4.3.0-RELEASE on a Cyrix system to do some network
debugging. The installation (User, no X) went fine, but the installed
kernel panics at boot time with this error:

panic: kmem_malloc(-201322496): kmem_map too small: 3366912 total
allocated

The CPU characteristics:

Cyrix 6x86MX, 167.05 MHz, "Cyrix Instead" Id-0x0452 Stepping=0
DIR=0x0452 Features=0x80a135 (FPU,DE,TSC,MSE,CX8,PGE,CMOV,MMX).

Real memory = 96468992

Is there something I can do when reinstalling to avoid this? Obviously
I can't boot this machine to build a new kernel; this is the generic
kernel from a pristine installation.
