   This is not yet supported by NetBSD (nor was it by Ultrix), although we
   do have plans to add that support.  ISTR that a single 8MB module after
   any number of 32MB modules should work, so you might be able to get 40MB
   this way.  Since you have 9x 8MB modules totally 72MB, just put those in
   for now and keep the 32MB module handy.


i believe that if you leave a gap between the 9x8MB modules and the 1x 32MB
module, it will work with the current kernel (probing just the 9x8MB) and
with the new memory framework (which looks in each individual slot and finds
the size of each one; the old code just stops when it finds an empty slot.)
