Hum, 12G. A bug invoving large memory has just been fixed.
Please try a very recent -HEAD kernel (netbsd-6 has not been fixed yet),
you need
src/sys/arch/x86/x86/pmap.c 1.170
src/sys/arch/xen/x86/x86_xpmap.c 1.40
I brought those in but was getting function errors in cpu.h, brought
that in and got incomplete struct in.. erm.. somewhere...
So I gave up with that, pulled down HEAD, built the latest kernel and rebooted.
Been up for a couple of hours now, compiling 6.0_BETA for about 40
minutes, which is orders of magnitude better than it had been
managing.
Will post later if it stays up, but looks very promising.
Cheers Manuel,
