Hi,

   I just tried to install the 3.0-970911-SNAP on a machine with
2 gig of memory installed. The boot process spit the following
out after the config screen:

panic: bounce memory out of range
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds: Press any key on the console to abort


   I removed all but 256Meg and the machine booted ok, and I then
removed options BOUNCE_BUFFERS and it now boots just fine...


   Question: I seem to remember an npx0 flag that could set the
             amount of usable memory in the system that can only
             be used in cli mode... But, I can't find any reference
             to it in the doc or the code... 

             Anyone got a pointer?

Thanks,
John
