Not sure, but a quick grep of the src tree turns up these:

dev/ata/ata-disk.c:     device_printf(dev, "FAILURE - out of memory in 
start\n");
dev/pst/pst-raid.c:             printf("pst: out of memory in start\n");

A snippet from ata-disk.c:

[..snip..]
static void
ad_strategy(struct bio *bp)
{
     device_t dev =  bp->bio_disk->d_drv1;
     struct ata_device *atadev = device_get_softc(dev);
     struct ata_request *request;

     if (!(request = ata_alloc_request())) {
         device_printf(dev, "FAILURE - out of memory in start\n");
         biofinish(bp, NULL, ENOMEM);
         return;
     }
[..snip..]

Which ata_alloc_request is defined in ata-all.h as:
#define ata_alloc_request() uma_zalloc(ata_request_zone, M_NOWAIT | M_ZERO)

So... man 9 uma_zalloc might help?

You are certain you didn't run out of memory, or some other resource?
