Another way would be to limit the physical memory to 256M and add support to not map all of physical memory for large-memory machines as a compile-time option.I'd say the rightest thing to do is compute - either mechanically or by hand - what amount of physical memory would put SLR as close as possible to 200000 without going over, then cap physical memory size at that value (preferably with a message).
I see no reason why to impose some artificial lower limit on the amount of physical memory. That would be a very NetBSD-specific limitation.
VMS obviously works just fine with 512M of physical memory. Why would we not be able to have NetBSD run with that?
