Message-ID: <BOOT.93Mar25142439@donald.osf.org> Lines: 14 Sender: news@osf.org (USENET News System) Reply-To: boot@osf.org Organization: Open Software Foundation Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1993 19:24:45 GMT Lines: 14 I have a 486 with 16 Meg of memory. I am about to install another 16 Meg (for a grand total of 32 Meg), but am fearful that 386BSD will break. I am running Julian's bootblocks and his SCSI drivers, along with a pretty vanilla kernel and the 0.2.2 patchkit. If it won't work with 32 Meg, is there a way to limit the memory size at boot time? -- Bruce -- Bruce Bauman email: boot@osf.org phone: 617-621-7205 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142
