cut and paste error
should read:

i refreshed my copy on sources (/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/myfs).
if used with /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/9loadaoe, it will recognize
the results of the e820 scan.  my new fs reports 3326 MB of memory
below 4GB.

the e820 scan is done from l.s so if you copy the #include "real820.s"
line from that l.s and real820.s, you can use it other versions of 9load.
but 9loadaoe has a few advantages.  it's a little more forgiving of packets
arriving at the wrong time, a little better with multiple interfaces and
will allow one to boot from aoe storage.
