Hi,

This has probably been discussed before while I was not paying
attention, anyhow....

I am running a 386bsd system WITHOUT any SCSI devices, and thus
assumed that it would be no problem to run the system with 32M of
RAM.  The system booted OK, until starting mountd, when it barfed
with a VM fault.

Is this due to problems with possibly trying to do DMA from the
network card (WD)?  
Should I be able to run the system with 32M of RAM?


Thanks,
Geoff.
