I tried to upgrade an amd64x2 box from "FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #36: Mon Sep
4 11:22:15 EDT 2006" to "FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #1: Mon Nov 13 10:01:57
EST 2006" and found that a newly built kernel panics on boot and locks
up solid after printing:
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
panic: failed to create swap_zone.
