MFS and Kernel panics (5.0-RELEASE-p7)

I've been playing with various MFS file sizes in a kernel and have come across 
some issues.  Either I'm doing something wrong, or there possibly is a bug 
somewhere.

Background:
OS: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p7

When building a kernel with an MFS_ROOT size => 8000 bytes (~7.8 megs), after 
the kernel has successfully loaded, if you subsequently try mounting a floppy 
disk (to a mount point on the MFS) (doesn't matter if it's fresh floppy or 
has some files on it) the kernel panics with the following message:

panic: isa_dmastart: bad bounce buffer

syncing disks, buffers remaining... panic: bwrite: buffer is not busy???

But, for an MFS that is 7000 (~6.8 megs) it works with out a hitch.

This behavior has been reproducable on two different systems with more than 
plenty of memort available.

As you can see, in the kernel that panics, isa_dmainit gives an error.

My question is, is this a bug in the kernel, or am I doing something to cause 
it to act screwy?

This same bug occurs on both machines that I've tested it on.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
