Is anyone running 386bsd with more than 16 MB of RAM?  

sys.386bsd/i386/machdep.c (init386/biosextmem) and
sys.386bsd/isa/isa.c (isa_dmarangecheck) seem to have the necessary
stuff for recognizing it and preventing bogus DMA transfers, but it
would be nice to know before spending money on more RAM.


Thanks in advance for any info,
