    My B180L has 512MB of RAM installed, its maximum is apparently 1.5GB.
    (My reference is here: http://www.openpa.net/systems/index.html .)
    (Given the models currently supported by NetBSD, it looks like my
    machine is at the more generous end of the representative sample.)
 
 
 given this, i'd recommend at least 512MB for MAXDSIZ default, unless
 this causes actual pmap issues etc...
