For what it's worth, I'm seeing the same on an old i386 box here.
It's currently doing a "make build" while running a UVM kernel built
from the April 25th tar balls, and seems happy.  Adding PMAP_NEW to
the kernel config file gives a kernel that boots, says the right
things about what it will use for root and swap, but panics when it
can't find /sbin/init.  I've been through the various permutations of
boot blocks and partition IDs, just to be sure.
