FreeBSD dragonmini.dg 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Aug 26 20:30:23 SAST 2008 root@dragonmini.dg:/tmp/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
>Description:
The kernel fails to boot when loading a big mfs image at boot time. This problem does not appear on amd64. Changing vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max to 512MiB does not help. Although in this case the mfs image is compressed I do not think it changes anything.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a big file and load it on boot...
Add the following to loader.conf:
dragonroot_load="YES"
dragonroot_type="mfs_root"
dragonroot_name="/boot/dragonroot"
where /boot/dragonroot is a big file...
(please see attached for the output [via serial] and the backtrace)
