I see that people have already pointed out that the above should be: options "MAXMEM=393216" ...as the arithmetic may not work as intended. Be sure the kernel reports the proper amount of memory in the startup message. Also, it is not necessary to send messages like this to multiple mailing lists. hackers or questions would have been sufficient. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
