  FreeBSD src repository

  Modified files:
    sys/boot/i386/loader main.c
  Log:
  If LOADER_BZIP2_SUPPORT is defined allocate heap in the 1MB-4MB range to
  provide enough room for decompression (up to 2.5MB is necessary). This
  should be safe to do since we load i386 kernels after 8MB mark now, so
  that 16MB is the minimum amount of RAM necessary to even boot FreeBSD.

Err, I thought we loaded PAE kernels at 2MB and non-PAE kernels at 4MB to skip the first PSE page (PSE pages are 2MB on PAE).

You are right, my mistake, sorry. In any case memory in the range 1MB-4MB can be used by default.
