howdy.

	well, i've just succesfully built and booted a 1gby
	physical ram p6 machine (tyan-titan-pro), using 2.2-gamma
	from 2/15 and the d.greenman pmap patch posted a few weeks back
	when someone else needed a 512mby fix.

	once again, you folks have confirmed my belief that freesbd
	is the *best* operating system going, at any price.

	btw, the application needing the 1gby memory is running 'irsim'
	from the packages directory simulating a very big chip...

	thanks to all of you hackers!
