System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)      : Intel x86

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)     : BSD/OS 4.0.1

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.0):   PostgreSQL-7.0.2

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)        : gcc version 2.7.2.1

------------------------------------------------

Here are some corrections for the BSD/OS port.  BSD/OS doesn't define
LC_MESSAGES, so that needs to be ifdef'd, and the kernel tuning
parameters are incomplete and suboptimal.

+ You may need to increase the number of sysv semaphores.
+ PostgreSQL 7 allowing the default number of backend connections
+ allocates 32 semaphores, which is just over half the default system
+ total of 60.
+
+ The defaults are in /sys/sys/sem.h:
+
+ /* Configuration parameters */
+ #ifndef SEMMNI
+ #define SEMMNI  10              /* # of semaphore identifiers */
+ #endif
+ #ifndef SEMMNS
+ #define SEMMNS  60              /* # of semaphores in system */
+ #endif
+ #ifndef SEMUME
+ #define SEMUME  10              /* max # of undo entries per process */
+ #endif
+ #ifndef SEMMNU
+ #define SEMMNU  30              /* # of undo structures in system */
+ #endif
+
+ Set the values you want in your kernel config file, e.g.:
+
+ options "SEMMNI=40"
+ options "SEMMNS=240"
+ options "SEMUME=40"
+ options "SEMMNU=120"
+

  Increase SHMMAXPGS by 1024 for every additional 4MB of shared
  memory:

  /sys/sys/shm.h:69:#define       SHMMAXPGS       1024    /* max hardware pages...

  The default setting of 1024 is for a maximum of 4MB of shared memory.
+ PostgresSQL 7 allowing the default number of backend connections
+ allocates about 1.2MB of shared memory.
+
+ Enclose the above line with "#ifndef SHMMAXPGS" and "#endif", and in
+ your kernel config file set the desired value, e.g.:
+
+ options "SHMMAXPGS=8192"

  For those running 4.1 or later, just recompile the kernel and reboot.
  For those running earlier releases, there are more steps outlined below.

  This is computed dynamically at bootup.

      $ bpatch -r sysptsize
!     0x9 = 9

! Next, change SYSPTSIZE to a hard-coded value.  Use the bpatch value,
! plus add 1 for every additional 4MB of shared memory you desire.

  /sys/i386/i386/i386_param.c:28:#define  SYSPTSIZE 0        /* dynamically...

  sysptsize can not be changed by sysctl on the fly.
