Oh yeah... I also noticed that others were trying the snapshot. I do not
think you should run it at all. I only used it to see if the change to
vmparam.h was likely to be the culprit.
If you are getting the "uvm_page_physload: ... increase VM_PHYSSEG_MAX"
error (and you wont see it easily... it flies by after about 2/10ths of a
second) it is definately the change to vmparam.h
For a truly clean install (that is if you are not a pro and want to be
certain things are up to stable plus this patch) get the -stable (or the cd
release if you don't mind the errata patches missing) and make the change to
vmparam.h and build a release. This way you get safe code... a safe build
... and you will have cds that can be used to install this on these machines
without having to go through all of this again.
The reason I only used my built bsd kernel and the cd41.iso was because I
wanted to make sure etc.tar.gz was clean. I actually did the whole build on
4.0 so I didn't want to use it's version of etc.tar.gz.
I also suppose if you took a look at the makefiles.. you could build the
cd41.iso much more quickly instead of going through the whole release.. but
as I said... if you don't have the time to look through and make sure you
are doing something safe (or dont know if you are)... you might as well just
do the whole release and be sure its clean.
