the G4 sawtooth motherboard has 4 DIMM slots which can each
take up to 512MB. MacOS can only address 1.5GB, which I have heard
is a software limit.
has anyone tried running netbsd-macppc on a 2GB configuration?
is there a known limit < 2GB on physical memory size either in the G4
hardware
(e.g. DMA limit?) or the macppc kernel?
