Its due to the memory value being understood by FreeBSD as given by the BIOS being wrong for values over 64MB. Pull the extra memory, install, build a kernel with the correct size for the memory (can be determined by looking at the value given by the memory check at powerup) and you should be good to go. You can do a CD boot under those circumstances.
