--- Comment #1 from longwitz at incore.de ---
The problem was caused by the size of my kernel and mfsroot. In my case I need
at boot 68 MB of physical memory (17 page table pages). The kernel needs 18
page table pages for the vm_page_array (/sys/i386/include/pmap.h). Therefore
the default for NKPT=30 is too low. After raising this to NKPT=36 in the kernel
source the crash has gone.

This PR can be closed.
