4 Subject: 3b2 procedure to raise MAXMEM | |
5 | |
6 Below is the procedure I followed to allow enough memory for GnuEmacs to run | |
7 on my 3b2/400. The end result of this is that a process can snarf up to 2Mb | |
8 of memory. This can be a bit dangerous on a 2Mb machine, but I tried it and | |
9 it worked ok. | |

13 In the simplest case, these are the procedures to reconfigure a 3bx kernel. | |
14 | |
15 | |
16 | |
17 1] cd /etc/master.d | |
18 | |
19 `ls` shows the files to be: | |
20 | |
21 README ctc* hdelog idisk ipc iuart kernel mau | |
22 mem msg ports* prf sem shm stubs sxt | |
23 sys xt | |
24 | |
25 2] Edit the file which contains the parameter[s] you wish to change. | |
26 In the following excerpt from /etc/master.d/kernel the value MAXMEM | |
27 was raised from 256 to 1024. | |
28 | |
29 In V.3.0 and later releases, the parameter in question is MAXUMEM | |
30 instead of MAXMEM. | |
31 | |
32 | |
33 * | |
34 * The following entries form the tunable parameter table. | |
35 * | |
36 | |
37 | |
38 NCALL = 30 | |
39 NPROC = 60 | |
40 NTEXT = 58 | |
41 NCLIST = 188 | |
42 * maxmem is number of pages (2K) was 256 --dmk | |
43 MAXMEM = 1024 | |
44 MAXUP = 25 | |
45 * hashbuf must be a power of 2 | |
46 NHBUF = 128 | |
47 NPBUF = 8 | |
48 | |
49 3] cd /boot | |
50 | |
51 4] mkboot -k KERNEL | |
52 | |
53 5] shutdown -i5 -g0 -y | |
54 | |
55 This will take the machine down and bring it back up into firmware | |
56 mode. When you see that the machine has reached this state, type the | |
57 firmware password (default=mcp). The machine will ask for the name of | |
58 a program to execute. At this prompt enter /etc/system . The machine | |
59 should start to boot and display its configuration data. | |

70 I do not feel that having the default firmware password is a | |
71 problem... but if you wish to edit it out, feel free. | |
