      Hello.
      My PfSense box started spamming "Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either the
      vm.pmap.shpgperproc or the vm.pmap.pv_entry_max tunable" and then it paniced.

      See more here:
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMvnGDYgMig
      at about 0:50 it panics.

      Uploaded the following file into /boot:

      Filename: loader.conf.local
      <<<
      kern.maxproc="20000"
      vm.pmap.shpgperproc="8192"
      vm.pmap.pv_entry_max="8192"
      vm.pmap_pg_ps_enabled="1"

      Now at bootup, I get:
      panic: pmap_init: Not enough kvm for pv chunks
      and a db> prompt.

      whats the problem?
