How much memory do you have?  I just upgraded to a PCI motherboard (and
5x86/133) and was waiting for my 30-72 pin memory adapter to come in.
With only 4 meg on the board, I got the same error message you're
getting.  (That part at least.)  When I installed my other 4M, it ran
fine.  I know FreeBSD claims to run under 4 meg, but I certainly
couldn't get the installer kernel to do so.

If you have 4M, we probably ought to report this to someone.  But they
don't claim FreeBSD *installs* under 4M, just runs under 4M.  :)
