same for me, but there where lots of "/386bsd cannot allocate memory "
messages while building . - But the binaries run fine.

I am using Adaptec`s 1542B , does anyone know if this limits the
useable memory to 16 MB ? Swapinfo always shows "swap used 0" ...

My configuration is : 386/387-40 , AHA1542B , CDC-WREN sd0 , SMCElite .
16MB Ram ,4 Partitions fstype 4.2BSD , 1 Swap Partition 16MB .
