I tried the same thing except for editing the partition layout to allow for 512M of swap: wd1*> p m OpenBSD area: 64-15662304; size: 7647.6M; free: 955.0M # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 1060.6M 64 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # / b: 512.0M 2172128 swap c: 7647.6M 0 unused d: 3072.0M 3220704 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # /usr e: 2048.0M 9512128 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # /home and 768M: wd1*> p m OpenBSD area: 64-15662304; size: 7647.6M; free: 699.0M # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 1060.6M 64 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # / b: 768.0M 2172128 swap c: 7647.6M 0 unused d: 3072.0M 3744992 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # /usr e: 2048.0M 10036416 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 # /home ...and there's no practical difference, the system will just sit for half an hour, print one or two seg faults in that time and then reboot. memtest86 didn't print any errors so I'm assuming my memory is fine. I'd say x86 computers without INT 13h Extensions support in the BIOS are pretty much obsolete at this point given that nearly all of them are going to be a combo of very small memory (>128MB was very rare before 1998) and small disk (8.4GB limit).
