Let me also add that my IIci with 80MB RAM is running up-to-yesterday
-current including UVM and PMAP_NEW, with no ill effects.  Of course,
with my 1GB swap partition, I had to bump NKMEMCLUSTERS to 8192 to
handle the size of the UVM swap data structures.  And it's also a
customized kernel with no unnecessary drivers.

BTW, it's also running an updated version of my SLOTMAN changes;  for
those of you waiting for an update, it will only take another day to
finish building the distribution kernels!  Check it out at
