Yes, but previous log it's all that I received from com-console before
system going down.

Now I try to adding
hw.physmem="1G" to /boot/defaults/loader.conf
and boot with -ghvs

System boot up! :)

New question: How I can to force system work with 2 Gb of memory, or I
do not understand corectly man page loader (8) and it's restrictions
only then system is bootup and 2Gb of memory will be accesable after
load?

    hw.physmem    Limit the amount of physical memory the system will use.
                   By default the size is in bytes, but the k, K, m, M, g and
                   G suffixes are also accepted and indicate kilobytes,
                   megabytes and gigabytes respectively.  An invalid suffix
                   will result in the variable being ignored by the kernel.

====
new verbose log here: http://elcom.ru/~masm/boot-gsvh.log

real memory  = 1073741824 (1024 MB)
now it's my real memory, how to work with 2Gb?


PS: sorry for my english.
