didn't dg already commit these fixes to the source tree:
dg 1999/03/11 10:28:47 PST
Modified files:
sys/i386/conf Makefile.i386 kernel.script
sys/i386/include pmap.h
Log:
Increased kernel virtual address space to 1GB. NOTE: You MUST have fixed
bootblocks in order to boot the kernel after this! Also note that this
change breaks BSDI BSD/OS compatibility.
Also increased default NKPT to 17 so that FreeBSD can boot on machines
with >=2GB of RAM. Booting on machines with exactly 4GB requires other
patches, not included.
