This variable disables the scan. .SS \fL*maxmem=value\fP This defines the maximum physical address that the system will scan when sizing memory. By default the operating system will scan up to 768 megabytes, but setting /n/sourcesdump/2005/1106/plan9/sys/man/8/plan9.ini:561,566 - /n/sourcesdump/2005/1107/plan9/sys/man/8/plan9.ini:574,580 for the kernel to find it. .B *maxmem must be less than 1.75 gigabytes. + This variable is not consulted if using the E820 memory map. .SS \fL*kernelpercent=value\fP This defines what percentage of available memory is reserved for the kernel allocation pool.
