I'm unable to even boot the FreeBSD 6.0 install CD (i386 version). I have
an AMD64 with an Nvidia nForce 3 250Gb based motherboard (MSI K8N Neo

panic: pmap_mapdev: couldn't alloc kernel virtual memory
This happens right after the agp0 load message. I tried disabling ACPI
with no luck.
Please help! I've been a FreeBSD user for almost 10 years and it would be
disappointing to give up now...
Did you
a) Verify the checksum of your iso image,
No but that's a good idea. I just checked the image and it's fine. I
also did md5 checks between the image and the CD to see if it burned
properly and all looks good.
and/or
b) Try the amd64 version?
No... I tried the amd64 version over a year ago (maybe 5.2 release?)
and had loads of problems building ports. Since I use FreeBSD for my
desktop machine, I depend on lots of them. It seems doubtful that all
those ports now build without problems under amd64, but what do you
think?
