Boy, have not seen that one for a while.  FreeBSD 1.1 and current have
totally dynamic map entry creation, while NetBSD&BSDI don't allocate the
kernel map entries dynamically.  FreeBSD 1.0 does not either.  The problem
that you are seeing is probably caused by another problem, but if you whant
to try, increase the MAX_KMAPENT in /sys/vm/vm_map.h by a couple of hundred or
so.
