The info on hw.physmem in this thread mostly did the trick for me:

Setting hw.physmem was the first part of the puzzle. However, as was
one of the thread participants, I was getting a fatal trap 12 when I
enabled APIC. Just so I could tell myself I'd tried everything, I
changed the APIC mode from "Full Table Mapped" (I had had 4.7 installed
and running properly set that way) to "Full Table". To my surprise, it
worked beautifully!
