Newer versions of the Debian `gnumach` package will limit themselves to around 1 GiB of memory. 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`.
