My PostgreSQL database server is currently running on
FreeBSD.  I am considering moving to NetBSD; but I
need to  reconfigure the kernel.

Hardware:  900MHz AMD Thunderbird with 1.5GB RAM,
1.5GB Swap

Current changes to FreeBSD kernel:
options		SHMMAXPGS=10000
options		SHMMNI=100
options		SHMSEG=256
options		SEMMNI=256
options		SEMMNS=512
options		SEMMSL=61
options		SEMMNU=256
options		SEMMAP=256

Will the above syntax work in the NetBSD configuration
file?  Are there differences in NetBSD from FreeBSD
that would affect the values I use?

The above works well in FreeBSD; and according to
PostgreSQL documentation, the syntax works in both
FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  Unfortunately, there is not
mention of NetBSD.
I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you,

Andrew Gould
