Thanks! FWIW (just to get it into the history of the PR), this was 'fixed' by making the VM86 support mandatory, which happened sometime in the 4.x lineage. Otherwise, the BIOS on the thinkpad does not report it's memory size in a way that the FreeBSD kernel finds acceptable. If you want to use memory above 64M in FreeBSD < 4.X, you must hard-code the amount in the config file ala; options "MAXMEM=196032" # The Thinkpad's reserve some memory Which is 192* 1024 - 16K or somesuch.
