Try commenting out this:

options         NKMEMCLUSTERS=4096      # slots in kmem_map
options         NMBCLUSTERS=4096        # slots in mb_map

from your config.  I think you're doing the same thing that I like to do,
which is blow out the lower 16M of memory, which causes problems at the
moment (for me) :).

Good luck,
