I should really look into this.

Looking at the panic, what you could try is to build a kernel from the
projects/altix2 branch (or make the change given below).

The change effectively is this:
=
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/altix2/sys/ia64/ia64/pmap.c?r1=3D2=
27521&r2=3D227523

Rather than returning a NULL address, we return an uncacheable direct-
mapped region 6 address. Typically for accessing devices.

That should fix your panic.

HTH,
