Scyld: BIGMEM: More than 1GB support

[David Vos]

Recompile the kernel that comes with Scyld.  Download the tarbal for
bproc, then go ahead and recompile the kernel.  Install bproc from the
tarbal (There are bproc rpms, but I haven't gotten them to work).

Then, rebuild the Phase 2 image.  There is a menu option for that in
beosetup, but I'm at home right now and can't look up the exact name.

I don't think you have to rebuild the boot disks.


All the nodes on our cluster have a Gig of RAM, and this method worked for
me.
