Tyan Tiger MPX 2466N-4M
3.5 GB RAM
Dual Athlon MP 1600
>Description:
While trying to install NetBSD 1.6.1 on dual Athlon MP 3.5G RAM
system (Tyan Tiger MPX 2466N-4M), the install boot panics.
It does not matter whether the machine boots from the 1.6.1 CD
or from boot1.fs/boot2.fs; the result is the same.

The boot recognized CPU0 correctly, the amount of memory
correctly, then panics with the following:

  ...
  total memory = 3583 MB
  panic: cpu_startup: cannot allocate VM for buffers
  Stopped in pid 0 () at 0xc0270530:    leave

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot 1.6.1 install CD or 1.6.1 boot[12].fs.
