It is likely that a system as large as 1G would require a kernel that has 512M-1GB of virtual space. To attain that requires special tuning, but should work. Also, due to some unfortunate decisions in the BSDI startup-code, BSDI binary support is also broken when tuning the kernel size > 256MB. John
