see /boot/defaults/loader.conf or man loader.conf. I would also suggest 
not using your entire amount of memory in these settings. Freebsd was 
crashing when i set these limits to 3G. 6.0-RELEASE #0 SMP kernel.


This box has 3G physical memory.
kern.dfldsiz=2147483648                 # Set the initial data size 
limit       # 2G
kern.dflssiz=2147483648                 # Set the initial stack size 
limit      # 2G
kern.maxdsiz=2147483648                 # Set the max data 
size                 # 2G
kern.maxtsiz=2147483648                 # Set the max text 
size                 # 2G
kern.maxssiz=2147483648                 # Set the max stack 
size                # 2G
