Is it ECC memory or non-ECC?
The kernel already have full memory testing performed at boot time
unless disabled with another loader knob:

hw.memtest.tests=0

Try booting it with memory testing disabled and without hw.physmem limitation.
Maybe it will boot.

With ECC, it could be hardware interrupt while kernel runs that test
and wrong in-kernel processing of the interrupt.
