We would like to increase the buffer cache of our FBSD-2.1-R system
with 64 MB of RAM.

With BSDI there are options like BUFMEM="N" that directly change
the size of disk buffer cache. Is there something alike in FBSD?

BTW, does FBSD reserve about 10 % of phys. memory like BSDI does
(in case nothing else is specified)?
