Hmmm - puzzling. One point to check, did you take them out of
/boot/loader.conf ?
Assuming so, maybe don't quote 'em (see below).
Finally you need to to set shmall, otherwise it will over(under)ride the
shmmax setting. So try:
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=1
kern.ipc.somaxconn=1024
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=8388608
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=3217968
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=3217968
kern.ipc.semmns=272
kern.ipc.semmni=256
kern.ipc.shmmax=66099200
kern.ipc.shmmin=256
kern.ipc.shmall=32768
