We have a AlphaServer with 512 MB RAM running NT4.0.
The Server resource kit say we can limit the amount of RAM NT uses
by modifying the BOOT.INI file and using the MAXMEM=n parameter.
This seems to be only true for x86 machines?????
Can someone help us do this on Alpha machines?
thanks

On an alpha this is done with a BURNMEMORY= command in the 'selection'
option - in different places depending on Alpha system.
Find the selection, edit boot options and include the command
BURNMEMORY=128 if you want 128K LESS memory.
Note that BURNMEMORY will only burn up to a 3 digit number. ie you
cannot burn 1gig or more.
Probably some other BURNMEM0RY examples in this notes file.

No, this is done in the firmware. In the firmware, there is a menu/screen for modifying boot selections. Go to that menu/screen and select the boot selection you want to modify. Then add BURNMEMORY to the boot option. Scott | |||||
