- OK, how about, I get the message using 8 + 2 memory with loadbsd,
- and in the boot sequence, I get a mesage saying that it is using something
- like 6648792 (815 pages) of memory. Clearly way less than the 10 available.
- Given that I am using a Picasso-II (2MB), I would expect Unix, with
- its non-contiguous memory support to get it all?
-
- I also tried recompiling the kernel, and had problems with it using th
- swap partitions.
-
- Finally, it often freezes when allocating a bounce in the bootup.
- I am using it on the internal IDE of my A4000. sd0a I think.
