Hello,

I'm using grub to boot a netbsd 1.5.2 kernel with some additions.
In my additions to the ACL I use some static allocated lists with size 1MB
and 3 MB. My BSS value raises from 9MB to 13 MB. When I try to boot, the
grub comes to part when it tries to load the kernel from a fileserver
(diskless boot) and then just reboots.

Is there some variables one can change to enable static allocation of this
portion of memory?
The hardware is an i386 machine with 128 MB memory.

Regards, Ljuba
PS: Below is the "objdump" of my kernel.
