-Just like any 32-bit OS without bad tricks, GNU Mach can not cope well with lots
-of memory. Latest versions of the Debian `gnumach` package will limit themselves
-to around 1.7 GiB of memory. If you want more, you can twiddle the `VM_MAX_ADDRESS`
-limit between kernelland and userland in `i386/include/mach/i386/vm_param.h`.
-
-If you have an older version, or still experience problems with `vmstat` (see
-above) reported much less memory than you have, the best is to limit the memory
-it can see via GRUB's `upppermem` feature. Add `uppermem 786432` to GRUB's Hurd
-entry in `menu.lst`.
