Actually, it would be nifty if someone were to add a sysctl command that would allow you to bump up the memory via a command in the RC file. I don't know what additional changes would be necessary for this to have the same impact as if the memory had always been there. This issue is likely to surface again if FreeBSD decides to support PCMCIA memory cards being ejected. 8-).
