I understand that ECC error _reporting_ under i386 is unsupported, but
am I correct in assuming that the chipset will correct errors
automatically and transparently to NetBSD, provided the BIOS is aware
that the installed memory is ECC?

I'm looking to expand the memory of a 440BX/100-based HP pavilion.
