Overrides the compile-time set value of TCBHASHSIZE or
the preset default of 512. Must be a power of 2.
+ set hw.physmem=<value> MAXMEM (i386 only)

+ Limits the amount of physical memory space available to
+ the system to <value> bytes. <value> may have a k, M or G
+ suffix to indicate kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes
+ respectively. Note that the current i386 architecture
+ limits this value to 4GB.
+
+ On systems where memory cannot be accurately probed,
+ this option provides a hint as to the actual size of
+ system memory (which will be tested before use).
