Hello,

I've got an AMD64 compatible machine which dies with
"Too many segments in the physical address map, giving up".

This error is defined in src/sys/amd64/amd64/machdep.c

Changing the following define:
#define PHYSMAP_SIZE    (2 * 8)
to
#define PHYSMAP_SIZE    (2 * 16)

has solved the problem, the machine boots and works without any 
noticeable side effect.

Are there any reasons to keep this and not to increase PHYSMAP_SIZE?

Thanks,
--
