Does NetBSD support >16MB systems on ISA? I'm currently running FreeBSD
-current on all my machines but one machine will have 20 MB, a AH1542C
and a 1 GB Seagate 32100. I also need to build a special kernel for
a non-standard ethernet card (DE200) so the FreeBSD-1.1R distributed
kernel (which contains a hack that switches off the memory above 16M)
would not be a solution for me.

Does NetBSD support >16M ISA systems?
