Reply-To: chrimek@toppoint.de Lines: 18 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.misc:2789 Hello I have one short question. We run NetBSD/i386 Release 1.2 on a Compaq DeskPro/M (EISA) with 20MB of RAM. The generic and customized kernels detect only 16MB of RAM, so I tried to use the new options directive "EXTMEM_SIZE=" and it seems to work. But WHAT value does this option take? The whole memory in kilobytes (20480) or in Megabytes (20M), or does EXTMEM mean only the "extended" memory in MS-DOS manner, that is all memory extending the very first megabyte of RAM ????? Currently I try "EXTMEM_SIZE=20480". -cr -- Christoph Rimek, Kiel, Germany (+49 431 57601) chrimek@toppoint.de
