I've just tried to upgrade my MicroVAX II to 16 megs by using two 8 meg
boards. However, NetBSD thinks I have 9 megs. The 8 meg boards
themselves do seem okay, and I can use an 8 meg board with a 4 meg board
to get 13 megs. Does anybody know what could be the problem here? Do I
need to do something special because the memory on the KA630 needs to be
disabled? Could this be a NetBSD problem?
BTW. With 13 megs the kernel compile does run nicely, so I'm now quite
sure that a lot of swapping makes NetBSD/vax unstable. However, I made
the mistake of setting the clock during the compile, and that seems to
be another nice way to crash the VAX.
