mdconfig using malloc()

Guys,

I'm trying to do the following:

mdconfig -a -t malloc -o reserve -s 2g

Which fails saying it can't:

  mdconfig: ioctl(/dev/mdctl): Cannot allocate memory

I saw some old post advocated using -t swap instead, saying
that swap  
probably wouldn't be used until real memory was consumed.
But, on my  
6.2 machine that immediately raises the swap usage to 2GB
and does  
use disk instead of RAM when I test using it.

Is there any way I can get 2GB of physical memory actually
allocated?

As a last resort, would upgrading to -CURRENT get this to
work?

Many thanks!

	-Shawn
