The extra memory is available for use. 'cat /kern/physmem'
returned 23552 pages, which is what this machine has now.
Having said that the Kinetic Card worked without any problems I
have just had a complete lockup of NetBSD (reset button job) and
then a crash that left me at the 'db>' prompt, both when running a
program that contained a large (8,000,000 element) array. Maybe
things are not quite as good as I thought.
