 This is almost certainly due to a bug which was fixed just after
 4.4-RELEASE. You can fix the problem by either upgrading to 4.4-STABLE
 or by changing /usr/src/sys/i386/include/param.h and then building
 a new kernel.
 
 You'll need to edit that file, look for the "#define UPAGES  2"
 and change the 2 to 3. Then rebuild, reinstall and reboot.
