ECC ram support in OpenBSD

Hello, I have a PC Engines APU2E4 with 4GB ECC RAM. I have upgraded the BIOS, and ECC support should be enabled. Is there a way to verify that ECC support is enabled in OpenBSD? Additionally, in the case of memory errors, should I expect to see any logged messages in /var/log/messages? Thank

Limiting RAM on boot to emulate low-memory situation

Is it possible to decrease amount of available RAM at boot time? I'm about to migrate some VPS system to a significantly cheaper option that comes with less RAM and I need to evaluate how existing system will behave. Sadly, I can't reconfigure RAM in VPS config. Cheers, Chris

Just for the record, I think *my* (not the OP's) problem when trying to grep fstat results was that unlike lsof, fstat didn't show the former file names (hence unlinked); it only showed inodes, so I never got the "find this former file" part to work on OpenBSD.
