The network controller on the VS3100 can only access 16MB of
memory (the first 16MB in the machine). I believe NetBSD maps the
buffers for the card at the top of memory, which obviously causes
problems for machines with more than 16MB.
The problem is solvable in software, but I would assume none of
the developers with VS3100s had more than 16MB in their machines
:)
