Have you tried 
options         MAXMEM="(4096*1024)"?

  Subject: 4 GB of RAM


  FreeBSD:

  I have the same problem with running 4GB of RAM on FreeBSD 4.4
  Hardware is a DELL Poweredge 2550, dual 1.2GHZ, RAID 0 with 5 SCSI disks, and 4 - 1GB memory
  sticks.

  2GB works well, but 4GB gets the panic: swap_pager_swap_init: swap_zone=NULL.

  I have tried tunning a kernel to NKPT = 64, and NKTP = 128, but no luck.
  Also tried options DISABLE_PSE in kernel.

  Have you guys found a better solution?

  -thanks,
  CRGarcia
