Limiting Memory at boot time

2003-09-29 Thread Rus Foster 
Hi All,
I've got a machine with 1 GB of ram but would like to temporarily limit it
to 512Mb. Is there anyway I can do this from the boot loader or will I
have to remove the RAM physically?

Rgds

Rus

You should be able to just set hw.physmem from the loader, I think.
That's equivalent to setting MAXMEM in the kernel configuration.
