If so what is the maximum that i can go. Thanx Soumen BTW I tried the following and could allocate upto 128*3 MB How are the following three params related ??? LOAD_ADDRESS = C010000 NKPDE = 255 VM_KMEM_SIZE = (512 * 1024 * 1024) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
