Start by showing the panic ;-)

Hi,
Here is the kernel panic :). The kernel was compiled with
'makeoptions DEBUG=-g' and DDB was included in the kernel. Unfortunately
the
stack trace from DDB does not seem to show any symbols. I've created this
panic by installing FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE with a GENERIC kernel that has
'makeoptions DEBUG=-g' and DDB included.

I have installed 6.0-RELEASE and the behaviour is still the same. If I try
to pre-load an md_image of 64M with 4G of RAM installed, the kernel panics
early in the boot cycle. Here is the panic on 6.0-RELEASE:
131072K of memory above 4GB ignored
