it's not a case of setting options or a custom kernel, it involves writing
code (rather delicate kernel code).
on this particular hardware, you are basically either stuck with 4GB or
running another OS.

I want to thank everyone that replied. I have gone to google for
information about openbsd, i386, pae, and similar.
I see that there was a talk done back in 2006 or so about PAE on i386. I
see some old old old threads about
it working, not working, working again, not working again, breaking amd64

Wouldn't that make ROP attacks more difficult too? Tho

Isn't that a limitation of Intel x32 rather than an OpenBSD limitation?

well, you should have searched for "openbsd and PAE" :)
i don't think they're going to bother at this point, but don't take my

Hello all. Today I replaced OpenSuSE with OpenBSD 5.0 on my HP ML 570 G2
server.
The system includes to memory boards for RAM. One board has 8 gigs, and
the other has 4.
The power on self test sees 12 and initializes 12, but after the server
boots, OpenBSD appears
to only see 4. I believe this r
12 matches
