I did a 'make world' on a 960913 -current and an i486 with 256K cache.
I rebiult the kernel and rebooted, everything is ok.  I then put
'options PQ_MEDIUMCACHE' in the kernel config and rebuilt the kernel.  
Everything is still ok.  The kernel size and boot messages are the same.
How do I tell if the 256K cache is being configured and used?

The thing I really like about Windows 95 is its artificial intelligence.
For example, check the properties of any file with the extension "old".
Windows 95 will tell you that it is an old file.  What other major
operating system available today has intelligence that is so artificial?
