For i386 I'd be more inclined to suspect KVA exhaustion.

For non-PAE, as a shot in the dark, increase
options KVA_PAGES=384
.. the default is 256 for PAE.  that increases kernel KVA from 1GB to 1.5GB.

For a PAE system, this number is multipled by 2, so a corresponding
change is 512 -> 768.

This is just a shot in the dark.  If this is amd64, then never mind,
KVA_PAGES is meaningless there.
