Hi all, I=92m trying to an install a ZFS-only system using this recipe:=20 http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/UFSBoot When I copy the FreeBSD-base to the new zfs file system, everything = stops. I get a kernel panic with this message: "panic: kmem_malloc()16384): kmem_map to small", and the whole box = freezes. The FreeBSD handbook recommends to set KVA_PAGES=3D512. But how do you = do that if your installing on a new blank hard disk, using the install = DVD? I don=92t have more than 1024 mb ram on my machine, so it=92s maybe = difficult to run ZFS on it anyway?=20 =20 Snorre D. =D8verb=F8 =20 =20 =20 =20=
