Reading through this section, I think I've noticed a minor mistake: Unlike Linux, FreeBSD does not map all of physical memory into KVM. This me= ans that FreeBSD can handle memory configurations up to 4G on 32 bit platfo= rms. In fact, if the mmu were capable of it, FreeBSD could theoretically ha= ndle memory configurations up to 8TB on a 32 bit platform. However, since m= ost 32 bit platforms are only capable of mapping 4GB of ram, this is a moot= point. Shouldn't the "up to" in the second sentence be "greater than"? Using "up t= o" seems to contradict the rest of the paragraph.. .................................... Andrew L.
