I wonder if This was fixed by Doug last October. The function extend_heap is called by boot1 as part of early startup. This gives one 512KB of heap.

I fooled around with trying to put the stack at the end of the heap some months back, but with no success. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
