Just thoug htyou might like to know. Damn. Yes, just removing PG_N from pmap.c and locore.s is sufficient. I'm a little surprised by this news since it seemed to fix it for someone else. Next idea: Can you get the "CYTEST.EXE" program from Cyclades ftp site and change the memory area that it uses to the >1MB setting? (You'll need to boot DOS, sorry). It defaults to 640K-1MB area, and there is a slight chance that this might be part of the problem. Just a wild idea, but worth a try. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
