I didn´t understand, also. I was after any kernel parameter, command 
line option to include in my boot, or something like that, to tell my 
system how to use the memory. IF there is such a command.
I remember having read some time ago about commands telling the kernel 
what to swap and what not, and that it had to do with mem upgrades.
That´s it. Hope it cleared up the subject.
