I think I've missed in this thread where you said which FreeBSD arch you are running: is it FreeBSD/amd64 or FreeBSD/i386? (With an "old" machine, 4 GB RAM, and an install still using MBR, it could potentially be FreeBSD/i386.) If it is FreeBSD/i386, there is a precedent for it having problems with configuring large amounts of swap. However, it is usually related to having relatively little RAM, too (large amounts of swap space means the OS needs to use more RAM to keep track of it).
